The future of the currents, whether slowing, stopping or reversing (as was
observed during several months measurements), could have a
profound effect on regional weather patterns — from colder winters in Europe to a much warmer Caribbean (and hence warmer sea surface temperatures to feed hurricanes).
«Like a pebble thrown into a still pond, the changes that have been
observed ripple through the community, in that the impact of these changes have had a
profound effect on the Indigenous population, beyond those who access the services provided by ACCHOs,» Dr Davis said.
