"Hard to predict" is an understatement. For all we know, extracting energy from wind and waves could counter the recent perceived increase in hurricanes and tropical storms, or it could restore weather patterns to what they were prior to deforestation.

The recent trend in hurricanes has been a decrease. (We can spot storms in places that we couldn't look before, but if we look just where we could look before, there's a decrease.)

The middle of the 20th century was far worse.
