Nobel Prize[edit]

I have removed the listing of the Nobel Prize from among Patz' awards and honors. Per the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize article:

In a statement of 29 October 2012 the IPCC clarified that the "prize was awarded to the IPCC as an organisation, and not to any individual involved with the IPCC. Thus it is incorrect to refer to any IPCC official, or scientist who worked on IPCC reports, as a Nobel laureate or Nobel Prize winner. It would be correct to describe a scientist who was involved with AR4 or earlier IPCC reports in this way: 'X contributed to the reports of the IPCC, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.'" It stated that it had not sent the certificates to "contributing authors, expert reviewers and focal points."."^[1]

Given that the IPCC as an organization does not recognize the individual authors as Nobel Laureates, it is inappropriate for any of those individual authors to make such a claim. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:17, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
