Show Notes

Gemini said

In the latest episode of THE HISTORY OF THE CARIBBEAN, we examine the existential threat of climate change and its immediate impact on island life from the two thousands to the present day. This documentary-style narrative moves beyond abstract statistics to the front lines of the crisis, beginning with the silent collapse of the Mesoamerican Reef and the devastating effects of coral bleaching on artisanal fishing communities. We explore how rising sea surface temperatures have transformed the Caribbean Basin from a source of life into a generator of "monster" storms, analyzing the rapid intensification of Hurricane Maria in Dominica and the catastrophic salination of water tables during Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas.
