Italian Nobel Prize-winning physicist
Giorgio Parisi said Friday that governments have fallen badly
short so far in facing up to the climate crisis.
"Unfortunately, the actions undertaken by governments have not
been up to this challenge and the results have been extremely
modest," Parisi told a preparatory meeting for the COP26 UN
Climate Conference in the Lower House.
"Humanity must make the essential choices to combat climate
change in a big way.
"For decades science has been warning that human behaviour was
laying down the foundations for a frenetic rise in the
temperature of our planet". Rome-born Parisi, 73, won the 2021
Nobel prize this week for his research on complex systems,
sharing it with Syukuro Manabe of Japan and Germany's Klaus
Hasselmann who won for their work on climate models and global
warming.
