EarthOne Unveils Fresh Climate‑Crunching Zone
AsiaOne has rolled out EarthOne, a brand‑new section that’s all about keeping our blue planet in check. Think of it as the planet’s own news bulletin that’s fed by science, curiosity, and a dash of good humor.
Climate Change: The Big, Bad Boss We’re All Facing
On October 5, Giorgio Parisi, an Italian physicist and Nobel Prize winner this year, told the press that climate change is not just a headline—it’s a “huge threat” that demands urgent political action. “Our governments need to jump on this now,” Parisi said, flashing that proud Nobel smile.
When he can’t tell us more, he’s simply grateful: “I’m very pleased to have this Nobel because it’s a recognition of all the field I’ve been working in.” His words underline that science isn’t a solo act; it’s a team gig that actually keeps our world from going haywire.
Meet the 2021 Stellar Physics Winners
- Syukuro Manabe – Born in Japan, currently a U.S. citizen – a pioneer who helped us understand the planet’s climate machinery.
- Klaus Hasselmann – From Germany – dove deep into the chaotic workings of our weather systems.
- Giorgio Parisi – Back from Italy – focused on the complexity of Earth’s changing climate.
Why Governments (and You!) Should Act Now
The three Nobel laureates displayed a simple truth: our climate is a delicate, interconnected system. The quicker we act—through policy, innovation, or everyday choices—the better we can keep the planet from tipping into disaster.
