Global warming forecast
Half of the award goes to meteorologists Manabe and Hasselmann, the other half to physicist Parisi.

Today, Japan, 90, born in Japan, has demonstrated in his work how elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere lead to rising temperatures on the Earth’s surface. His research laid the foundation for the development of current climate models.
–
Hasselmann created a model that combines weather and climate. His methods have been used to show that elevated temperatures in the atmosphere are caused by human-produced CO2 emissions.
–
According to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Parisi discovered hidden patterns in disordered complex materials. His discoveries are among the most important contributions to the theory of so-called complex systems.
–
“It is clear that for the next generation we must act immediately and very quickly,” Parisi said at a morning press conference about the current climate situation.
–
“It’s clear that for the future generation, we have to act now in a very fast way.”

“The Trinity was recognized for its groundbreaking contributions to understanding the complex physical systems that are characterized by randomness and chaos. This year’s award highlights new methods of describing them and predicting their long-term behavior, ”the Swedish Academy concluded in a statement.

On Monday, American scientists David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for their discovery of temperature and tactile receptors.

Speculation has been partially confirmed
According to the specialized server Insidescience.org, three scientists from France, the USA and Austria, who conduct research in the field of quantum information and communication, were hoping for a prize for physics.
–
Among the favorites, according to the server, were also scientists from the University of London Imperial College and the American Duke University, who are working on research into new types of so-called metamaterials, which have properties that do not occur in nature.
–
The trio of international scientists Carlos Frenk, Julio Navarro and Simon White were then said to have been able to succeed thanks to research into the formation and evolution of galaxies. The only woman among the favorites was Danish researcher Lene Hau, who is conducting research on slowing down and stopping light at Harvard University in the USA.
–
However, according to the AFP agency, the Italian scientist Giorgio Parisi, who deals with theoretical physics, also had a chance to win the award. And this tip came out.

The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences since 1901. In recent decades, groups of two or more scientists have often received the prize. So far, there are only four women among the laureates. Among them was the French physicist and chemist of Polish origin Marie Curie-Sklodowska.

Last year, black hole research succeeded
Last year, British physicist and mathematician Roger Penrose, German astrophysicist Reinhard Genzel and American astronomer Andrea Ghez received awards for research that helped understand black holes.
–
The announcement of the Nobel Prizes will continue until Monday, October 11. On Wednesday, the world will learn this year’s winner of the prize for chemistry, on Thursday for literature and on Friday for peace. Prices for economics will be announced on Monday.
