Mr. Manabe gave an online commemorative lecture in English entitled "Physical Modeling of the Earth's Climate" on the 8th of Japan time. At the beginning, "I am very honored to receive this award. I'm very happy about that, "he said.
After that, he introduced a model that simulates the climate devised by research teams including himself in the mid-1960s, and "evaluates how the temperature of the earth's surface and atmosphere changes according to the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It was a very useful model for me. "
He warned that as global warming progresses, droughts will occur frequently in many areas, especially in arid areas, while floods are more likely to occur in tropical regions.
