More and more often we read references online to Nobel Prize winners in physics who are supporters of climate denial.
We have said it several times and we repeat it, recall Prof. Zichichi, physicist but not Nobel, Prof. Prodi. Physicist but not Nobel Prize to support denialism is of little use. Zichichi and Prodi have zero scientific publications on the climate! Scientific publications subject to peer review.
Now the reference is to the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Prof. Clauser and his climate denialism, which is equally useless, as he is known for many contributions to quantum mechanics and performed the verification of Bell’s theorem for the first time.
Trivializing theorem, which indicates a series of conditions that reality around us should respect and, which we should be able to verify if the real world actually obeys quantum mechanics.
Quantum mechanics which is the most precise physical theory known.
A first quantum revolutionaround the 50s/60s, led to the development of electronics, computers and lasers.
There second quantum revolution in the last decade brings us, to many singular and counterintuitive behaviors of the quantum world which however open up new perspectives for creating new communication systems and quantum computers.
Climate publications? Zero!
Just yesterday in the Rostagni room of the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padua, Prof. Thomas Stocker, professor of Climate and Environmental Physics at the University of Bern, addressed the climate issue.
Stocker is known for developing climate change models based on the analysis of ice cores from polar regions.
He contributed significantly to the creation of the “hockey stick graph,” which shows an increasing increase in global average temperatures in recent times.
He is one of the leading experts in climate dynamics and reconstruction models of the Earth’s past climate, known as paleoclimate. The origins of climate change treated through rigorous mathematical tools to explain complex systems, which were the subject of the 2021 Nobel Prize awarded to Giorgio Parisi.
Atmospheric and ocean models developed since the 1960s have predicted phenomena such as warming of the troposphere and oceans, as well as melting of glaciers, polar ice sheets, and rising sea levels.
Phenomena we are currently observing.
These models, together with instrumental observations, form the scientific basis of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement.
Prof Stocker was a research fellow at University College London and Columbia University.
He is currently head of the Department of Climate and Environmental Physics at the University of Bern.
