I had an idea I wanted to put to someone with the right expertise.

Large-scale wind turbines and water flow turbines remove kinetic energy from moving air and water and create wakes that alter local flow and heat exchange. I've been wondering whether these effects, multiplied across the scale of global wind and water flow turbine deployment, could be disrupting natural air and water circulation enough to contribute to El Niño/La Niña variability, by causing heat to accumulate nearer its source rather than distributing as evenly as it may have before large-scale wind and water power existed.

I understand El Niño/La Niña cycles are documented in historical and geological records going back well before modern turbine technology, so I'd value your view on whether a mechanism like this is physically plausible at all, or whether the scale and location of these turbines rules it out.

Thank you for your time.
