Abstract
⺠We merged a global Tortonian palaeobotanical dataset with the output from a GCM. ⺠This created a hybrid Tortonian global vegetation distribution map. ⺠The distribution of vegetation shows the Tortonian was warmer and wetter. ⺠The change in climate suggests a global forcing agent such as CO2. ⺠The majority of Tortonian CO2 estimates do not show any evidence for increased CO2.
