The study, published Tuesday in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, looked at nearly a century's worth of data, & 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

In that same time, the burning of fossil fuels has contributed to an increase in average global temperatures by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit
