Statement of witness James E. Hansen

The large climate changes during the Cenozoic Era are especially germane, because tectonically driven changes of atmospheric CO2 were clearly the dominant global climate forcing for much of that era. Competing climate forcings included the brightness of the sun and the location of the continents, w ...
