Question - For what reasons does climate change lead to enhanced weathering of rocks?

For what reasons does climate change lead to enhanced weathering of rocks?

Answer
The rate of weathering of rocks (e.g., oxidation and hydrolysis) is proportional to erosion rates (and so formation of mountains) but also to temperature, humidity and the carbon dioxide level of the atmosphere, all of which are higher as a result of anthropogenic changes.
