The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021

“Three Laureates share this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for their studies of complex phenomena. Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann laid the foundation of our knowledge of the Earth’s climate and how humanity influences it. Giorgio Parisi is rewarded for his revolutionary contributions to the theory of disordered and random phenomena.”


This thread is an answer to a previous one posted today in which some of the deniers got all excited because a couple of Nobel winners in Physics signed a “letter” that was drafted by a climate change denier propaganda organization. Big deal. A year earlier, three physicists won by ACTUALLY doing research regarding the climate. Now how many of our resident deniers here will claim that they know more than those physicists? We shall see. In the meantime, I will post some of the information and conclusions from their studies as I have time.

Here is the response of @Lord of Planar on the AGW denier Nobel Prize Winner in Physics for research unrelated to climate:

Lord of Planar said:

This is what is wrong with the whole lot of your cult-like thinking.

The climate sciences are all about physics. A physicist is far better equipped to determine the climate sciences than a climatologist. A climatologist is just a glorified meteorologist.

To be a Nobel Prize winner in Physics...

I'm sorry, if that doesn;'t mean something to you, then nothing will outside of your indoctrination.

Whop-t-do.

Garbage in .... garbage out...

P.S. The reason OP physists got Nobel Prize in 2021: "The work of Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann and Giorgio Parisi “demonstrate that our knowledge about the climate rests on a solid scientific foundation,” the [Nobel Committee for Physics] said."

He has lots and lots of talking points.

Here is why these physicists were awarded the Nobel prize for their work in climate change:

Syukuro Manabe demonstrated how increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere lead to increased temperatures at the surface of the Earth. In the 1960s, he led the development of physical models of the Earth’s climate and was the first person to explore the interaction between radiation balance and the vertical transport of air masses. His work laid the foundation for the development of climate models.

About ten years later, Klaus Hasselmann created a model that links together weather and climate, thus answering the question of why climate models can be reliable despite weather being changeable and chaotic. He also developed methods for identifying specific signals, fingerprints, that both natural phenomena and human activities imprint in the climate. His methods have been used to prove that the increased temperature in the atmosphere is due to human emissions of carbon dioxide.

Around 1980, Giorgio Parisi discovered hidden patterns in disordered complex materials. His discoveries are among the most important contributions to the theory of complex systems. They make it possible to understand and describe many different and apparently entirely random complex materials and phenomena, not only in physics but also in other, very different areas, such as mathematics, biology, neuroscience and machine learning.


Let’s review a couple os the sentences above:

Syukuro Manabe demonstrated how increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere lead to increased temperatures at the surface of the Earth.

About ten years later, Klaus Hasselmann created a model that links together weather and climate, thus answering the question of why climate models can be reliable despite weather being changeable and chaotic.
His methods have been used to prove that the increased temperature in the atmosphere is due to human emissions of carbon dioxide.

So there you have it: “a model that links together weather and climate. Turns out that they are common to one another after all!
