Kirsty Duncan’s Facebook page says she’s been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Being 1 of 39 people involved in one chapter (out of 11) of an obscure report is apparently all it takes.

Kirsty Duncan has been called a “Nobel winning climate scientist” and “the only Nobel Prize recipient” in Canada’s House of Commons. But neither of these claims are true.

Instead, Duncan holds a doctorate in geography and, until recently, was the Liberal Party of Canada’s environment critic as well as a Vice-Chair of Parliament’s environment committee.

More than a year ago, the IPCC issued a statement saying it is improper to describe anyone associated with that organization as a Nobel laureate or a Peace Prize winner. But as of this morning, Duncan’s Facebook page stills says she’s a “Nobel Peace Prize laureate”.
