Not the first physics Nobel Prize winner to deny climate change: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivar_Giaever

I guess some physicists already have a tendency to see themselves at the pinicle of science. When winning the prize I guess it really gets to their heads. So weird that they’d get so damn certain about the “truth” in a completely different field from what they’ve studied. As far as I can tell, without engaging much with scientists actually working in that field.
