There is little reason for a tsunami to change the climate. Climates are affected by changes in the distribution of warm and cold air. Tsunami don't do this. Tsunami are caused by undersea earthquakes and these generate an insignificant amount of heat, made even more insignificant by the huge heat capacity of the ocean.

For a tsunami to affect climate it would have to be caused by a major volcanic eruption. In such a case, the volcanic activity would get the blame, not the water.

The only way a tsunami might be more closely related to a climate change would be this:

Suppose a tsunami were caused by a huge shifting of the ocean bed and that this caused a major change in an ocean current. That would result in a change in the earth's heat distribution and thus its climate.

But still, it's the earthquake getting the blame for both - the tsunami and the climate change.

How does climate change effect people and animals?

Did you hear about that tornado in indiana or that tsunami in japan? That effected a lot of people! Why because they weren't used to it... they weren't prepared for a climate change like a tsunami. It's not everyday that you have a tornado or a strom or a tsunami isn't it? It brought a lot of damage and killed a lot of animals! For example if you lived in Indiana then you weren't prepared for a tornado or a tsunami. That's when it came it damaged our food our houses and it killed a lot of people! You could've died! sources: I was in a tornado... It damaged my house and all of my valuables were gone done! I live in Indiana like right in the middle of where the tornado happened. My dad died and my sister was injured. Do you think that effected me? Why of course it did! I have no dad anymore (Why did i bring this up I am crying now!)
