The new study, though, could hardly be called good news for those who will live with the consequences of climate change. The controversy over Eleuthera’s boulders underscores just how little we know about how the oceans will react to climate change. Then, the researchers ran simulations of a variety of storms hitting the cliff with different sea levels superimposed. (In fact, even present day lower sea levels, the study suggests that smaller boulders on Eleuthera were indeed moved by Hurricane Andrew.) However, three experts on the geology of the Bahamas – including Hearty – contested aspects of the new work, while praising some others.
