Prize winners in Physics who acknowledge human caused Climate Change...here's an AI Summary...
-------------------
AI Overview
Several Nobel laureates in physics have explicitly acknowledged that human burning of fossil fuels is a significant cause of climate change. These scientists, recognized for their work in climate science and related fields, have contributed to understanding and modeling the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on the Earth's climate.
Here are some notable examples:
Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann (Physics, 2021):
.
These two physicists were awarded the Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking work in climate modeling and quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming. Their research demonstrated the impact of human activities, particularly the release of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels, on the Earth's climate. Manabe's work in the late 1960s developed the first climate model that included water vapor, winds, and atmospheric heat transport, while Hasselmann developed methods to identify specific signals of human influence on climate.
Svante Arrhenius (Chemistry, 1903):
.
While not a physics laureate, Arrhenius, a Nobel laureate in chemistry, was a pioneer in climate science. He was the first to calculate the impact of increased carbon dioxide levels on Earth's temperature, laying the groundwork for understanding the greenhouse effect and the role of fossil fuels in climate change, according to NobelPrize.org.
Giorgio Parisi (Physics, 2021):
.
A theoretical physicist and one of the 2021 Nobel laureates, Parisi's work focused on complex systems, including climate modeling. He emphasized the urgency of addressing climate change, stating, "It's clear that for the future generation, we have to act now in a very fast way," according to The New York Times.
William Nordhaus (Economics, 2018):
.
While not a physics laureate, Nordhaus was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on the economics of climate change. His research has focused on the economic effects of climate change, including the impacts of fossil fuel combustion and the need for policy responses.
These scientists, among others, have not only contributed to our understanding of the science behind climate change but have also highlighted the critical role of human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, in driving this global challenge.
