• Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann were cited for their work in “the physical modeling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming”.
• The second half of the prize was awarded to Giorgio Parisi for “the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales.”
  
• This is the first time climate scientists have been awarded the Physics Nobel. 
  
• It is common for several scientists who work in related fields to share the prize.
