Our Common Future

Bert Bolin was a member of the steering committee.

Goodman also wrote the chapter about energy in the 1987 Brundtland report Our Common Future and added the part about anthropogenic global warming upon the request and funding from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

In June 1988 the NASA scientist James Hansen stated that global warming can be attributed with 99% certainty to a man-made increase in the greenhouse effect at a hearing about the greenhouse effect and climate change in the US Senate.

The hearing had been organized by Senator Timothy Wirth, a member of David Rockefeller's think tank, the Trilateral Commission.
