Does wind get worse with age? Understanding wind speed and pattern changes

From 1978 until 2010, research showed a worldwide stilling of winds, with speeds dropping 2.3 percent per decade, before reversing course with a slight increase after 2010. The question, **"Does wind get worse with age?"** is more complex than a simple yes or no, as it involves regional climate shifts, ocean-atmosphere oscillations, and the specific age of wind turbines, not the age of the Earth itself.
