A New Historical And Geographical Interpretation Of The Greater Caribbean
The regional history of those countries was written and taught looking from the Pacific Ocean directly to the Atlantic Ocean, virtually overlooking the space of the Caribbean Sea. It is therefore not uncommon for the Caribbean coast of the Central American isthmus to be referred to as the Atlantic coast. In other words, the space that is proper to the Sea is not recognised as a border. Teaching the geography of the zone in that way led to an obscuring of that natural reality. DETAILS

With seas and oceans absorbing more than 80% of the added heat, the Greater Caribbean Region will probably be amongst those that bear the brunt of climate change. According to a United Nations report by more than 2,000 top scientists released on 2nd February, temperatures will probably rise by 1.8-4.0C over the next 50 years or so, making floods and droughts more common, whilst rising sea levels (28-43cm) threaten the survival of some island and low-lying States and tropical cyclones become more intense.
