Three of this year's Nobel Prize laureates say addressing climate change is of great importance. The remarks come as a global summit on climate change takes place in Madrid.
Nobel Physics Laureate Didier Queloz speaks during a press conference at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden Saturday, Dec. 7, 2019.
Winners of the prizes in physics, chemistry and economics made the assessment Saturday at a news conference ahead of next week’s presentation of the prizes. The remarks come as a global summit on climate change takes place in Madrid. “I think this is just irresponsible because the stars are so far away I think we should not have any serious hope to escape the Earth,” he said.
Esther Duflo, one of the economics laureates, cautioned that dealing with climate change “will require a change in behavior, particularly in the rich countries” that are heavy consumers of goods and energy.
