Leading Climate Scientist Responds To Joe Oliver And His 'Neanderthal Government' - UPDATED

In an interview with the CBC's Evan Solomon, Hansen uses the occasion to set the record straight and offer his own opinion on our federal government, which he terms 'neanderthal' on the topic of climate change. The video of that interview is available below:
