If there were a prize for automobile design you would criticize Henry Ford because his design was not nearly as good as ones that followed. If there were a prize for printing you'd hate that Guttenberg got it as his press is garbage compared to what followed.
Manabe's climate modeling was revolutionary. It completely changed what was possible in the field and all later climatologists have built upon his pioneering work. That is why he was given the prize. So if you want to attack him because his 1960's model lacked the sophistication of later work, go ahead. Dr Manabe changed science.
You can educate yourself on how much he contributed, and learn some about the man HERE

Sorry, but giving a Nobel Prize for work on the bogus premise of climate change (due to man's activity) is like giving an engineering award to the designers of Chernobyl
