Abstract: With the amazing development of wind energy, it is worthy to investigate how the energy, pumped in the wind, can affect the atmospheric circulation and whether it could contribute to climate change. We therefore considered this problem with a simple physically motivated model for the interaction between wind and the Pacific Ocean as proposed by Vallis (1986). A realistic pumping function, corresponding to the energy harvested by wind turbine, is inserted and its influence in the initial “climate” dynamics is characterized using a topological approach. Results suggest that wind energy is not so “abundant and inexhaustible”.
