JUST IN: The 2021 Nobel Prize in physics goes jointly to three scientists for pioneering work predicting global warming and understanding complex physical systems
Manabe, 90, and Hasselmann, 89, were jointly honored for"the physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming," according to the press release from the Royal Swedish Academy of SciencesItalian physicist Parisi, 73, claimed the other half of the award, for"the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales.
Manabe's work in the 1960s"laid the foundation for the development of current climate models," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a statement, while Hasselmann"created a model that links together weather and climate" a decade later.Read MoreParisi's discoveries"make it possible to understand and describe many different and apparently entirely random complex materials and phenomena.
