This is horrible!
Climate Change Is Making Waves Bigger in California
The weather is warming, ice caps are melting, and we’re all basically screwed.
That’s the basic, highly unscientific premise of climate change and global warming, right? Unless we can reverse a century and change worth of fossil fuel damage to the ozone, or find a way to move to Mars, humanity will die a slow, very hot death.
But perhaps there’s another side effect of climate change, as suggested by a new study.
Per NPR:
“The study, published Tuesday in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, looked at nearly a century’s worth of data, and found that the average height of winter waves have grown by about a foot since 1969. The number of storm events that produced waves greater than 13 feet in height has also increased, the study found.”
Um, this piece is in Surfer magazine, so, you’d think they’d be thrilled by this news. Of course, bigger waves do not generally mean better waves. A couple of the best surfing days I’ve ever had were on ones with a 2-4 foot faces, and were coming in perfectly, allowing for all sorts of tricks, including 360s and aerials (I almost blew out someone’s back, they were hiding behind the wave, I was getting off, spun back into a hanging aerial.) I’ve also had a blast on 10+ foot faces.
But, it’s always something with climate cult members, always finding the worst in every bit of news. It’s a shame that so many of these surfing magazines and organizations went cultist, rather than being concerned with the real issue of ocean pollution
“By the turn of this century, federal estimates warn nearly three-quarters of California’s picturesque beaches may be completely eroded by rising seas. A report by California’s nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office found that between $8 and $10 billion worth of existing property is likely to be underwater within the next few decades, with an additional $6 to $10 billion worth of property at risk during high tides.”
So, the waves might get bigger as we delve deeper into climate change, but the beaches might not be there to surf…or at least, they’ll be in different places, like inland.
New surf spot in the 909?
Sigh. There’s always erosion. Hence why beachside towns like Malibu are littered with boulders at the sea’s edge. And then other places build up. Geology changes.
