But climate can be characterized by a lot more criteria. Scientists from Melbourne, Australia recently published a study that trailed the last 23 year&#8217;s climate change by wave heights and wind speeds. Evaluating data that had been collected by satellite altimeter measurements, I. R. Young and his colleagues found a slight increase in wave height and wind speed over this period.  <\/p>\n<p>Read more: <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/content\/early\/2011\/03\/23\/science.1197219.abstract\">I.
