Abstract
Climate change and climate change driven impacts are most widely argued topics among contemporary researchers and scientists. Broadly there are two schools of thought that present entirely contrasting perceptions about the overall concept of climate change and its impacts. While one of the perceptions state on frequently varied climate change and occurrence of extreme weather events, others rely on the perception that there is nothing called climate change, and it is only the indifferences in occurrence of climate events. The title of this study itself implies the fact that this research study supports the perception of climate change and its probable impacts, where detailed studies and numerical modelling have been carried out to determine the climate change induced impacts on the wave climate along the western coast of Sri Lanka.
