The Earth can act as its own experimental control – just compare Earth before and after we changed it. That’s how observational sciences are done.

Simple questions …

(1) what is the ideal mean surface temperature of earth
Answer: about 15°C which is where it was when human civilization arose, not 16.25° as it is now and headed for 18°C to 20°C by 2100 (and higher cannot be ruled out).

(2) what is the ideal atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration.
Answer: about 350 ppm which is where it was when human civilization arose, not 413 ppm as it is now and headed to 540 and 970 ppm by 2100 (depending on SRES humans adopt).

Climate change is a multiplier for war, disease and poverty. The Syrian conflict derives from a mega drought that climate change caused. COVID-19 may also be a result of climate change as natural habit disappears for bats and they encounter us more.

(1) the changes are likely NOT minor and largely NOT beneficial (making large parts of the planet uninhabitable is neither minor or beneficial (except if it restricted to the USA).

(2) the costly action will NOT have any effect on past climate change but it will prevent worsening of the problem in the future. Besides we need to make the same changes anyway since oil and gas will deplete later this century and increased use of coal will poison us all.

Seriously, they worked all their lives to give us amazing things, it doesn't matter they are "guys"...Nobel Prize shouldn't be "handed out" based on gender, but on accomplishments

Fahad Haider

@P M what has that got to do with this or gender be used to undermine their accomplishments. Some of us definitely should grow a brain first.

P M

you are taking a short sighted view.. those 3 guys are brilliant but it's also a fact that 50% of world population recieves less investment in terms of education.. so, the overall probability of women getting into R&D decreases. for. e.g. a brilliant mind in india is getting married & having kids right now cos none though to put money into her edu.

@summer firebon: Heat is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation.
True greenhouses act by blocking convective cooling. This is the main way the lower atmosphere cools.
To accurately determine climate sensitivity to carbon dioxide concentration we would have to perform controlled experiments on
whole planets.
We can observe other terrestrial planets to determine the relationship between stellar radiation flux, atmospheric pressure and composition and the distribution of oceans and land and mean surface temperature.
The notion that a trace part (1/2500) of the atmosphere acts anomalously to significantly heat the rest should be viewed with skepticism.

@L C Nobel Prize was always about the discovery that paved way for a new understanding of existing knowledge. Arnold Penzias won the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering CMB, even though he did not predict CMB or did work related to CMB when he discovered it or after he discovered it. But he is the first to identify it that it came from all direction of space so it must be something new. Now CMB is the only reality that we have that gave us clues about Big Bang. Same with Manabe, he changed the understanding of how the planet actually warmed up and with Hasselman's work on the importance of ocean current for climate stability. Climate Change is never political, ever. It is as factual as the globe's shape of the earth. The solution to address it, however, is political because everything that perturbs capitalism would not get an easy pass in any country's parliaments.

@L C Parisi's works were unrelated actually. His main works were statistical field theory and he made many contributions in disordered condensed matter systems such as spin glass. The guy was just amazing that some of his works also related to climate and glaciation.

"3 guys" Jesus, is celebrating climate science not progressive enough

Artonio

its absurd to even think gender should be factor in this, its also ridiculous to call this a "political statement", climate change is a scientific fact, not a political opinion.

princeofexcess

3 guys. Alright name the girl nominees that are better suited to receive the price. Even science is being corrupted by this nonsense

Tommy

Shouldn't a German news channel be able to write Göran in the right way? 😅
