Paleoclimate in the Caribbean: comparing the record of temperature, precipitation, and ENSO from late holocene and last glacial cave calcites

我们的天气最戏剧性的特征似乎起源于热带：飓风、壮观的季风洪水或失败、厄尔尼诺事件。媒体的报道表明，这些事件正变得更加频繁和激烈。更糟糕的是，我们被警告海洋循环系统可能出现故障，导致北部地区冻结。这其中有多少是真的？什么是“正常”？过去发生了什么？

The most dramatic features of our weather seem to originate in the tropics: the hurricanes, the spectacular monsoon floods or failures, the El Nino events. Accounts in the media suggest that these events are becoming more frequent and more intense. Even worse, we have been warned of the potential failure of the ocean circulation system, resulting in a freeze-up of the northern regions. How much of this is true? What is "normal"? What has happened in the past?
