Ottawa, Canada (KP) - Respecting humanity and God’s creation
has always been a key message in the Sikh scriptures and one of
the key responsibilities for Sikhs. Sardar Jagtar Singh Bhatti,
an Amritdhari Sikh, has embodied this duty and his services
have been duly recognized when he and his research team became
the recipients of the coveted Nobel Peace prize for 2007 for
their scientific study into global climate change. Sardar Jagtar
Singh Bhatti, is a Carbon Cycling Modeling Scientist for the
Canadian Forest Service.
Sardar Jagtar Singh was one of the scientists who took part in
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment
Report. Twenty-five scientists, including Sardar Jagtar Singh,
were recently honored and recognized for their efforts on this
2007 report by Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, Mr. Gary
Lunn, and Deputy Minister, Cassie Doyle.
The scientists worked with over 2400 expert reviewers and over
1200 authors from over 130 countries to produce the assessment
report along with technical papers on a variety of climate
change topics, including its effects and causes as well as
projected future changes and impact.
The IPCC team shared the award with former United
States Vice-President Al Gore, both were recognized by the Nobel
Committee for "their efforts to build up and disseminate greater
knowledge about man-made climate change, and lay the foundations
for measures that are needed to counteract such change."
Panthic Weekly congratulates Sardar Jagtar Singh for this
exemplary service to Humanity and Nature and for uplifting the
image of the Sikh community on the global stage.
