Did IPCC contributors each win the Nobel prize?

It's flat-out wrong to say that he was awarded the prize. An organization was awarded the prize. The individual committee members are no more Nobel Laureates, than is the receptionist who answers the committee's phone.

You can see who was awarded the prize on the Nobel web site. http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2007/index.html. Individual members/researchers were not. We can especially see that this is the case because http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1997/index.html, was awarded the prize, the committee also awarded half of the prize to its leader Jody Williams. So she can rightly claim to be a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

I have no idea if there are formal protocol rules surrounding this, but it seems common sense to me that the Nobel is 'owned' by the IPCC,and cannot legitimately eb cliamed by any individual. Maybe the http://www.ipcc.ch/organization/organization_bureau.htm, Rajenda Pachauri, could perhaps lay claim to it, but that would be about it.

I have worked with someone who was on the Nobel prize winning IPCC committee who also described it that he was awarded the prize. Perhaps everyone who contributed agreed that was how they'd describe it?

The collective organization won the prize, not the individuals involved. So, the individuals cannot claim to be Nobel Laureates. To use a simplistic analogy, if you're a cook at a chicken restaurant that wins a prize for Best Chicken Restaurant, you as an individual can't claim to be the Best Chicken Cook (even though your efforts contributed to the winning of the restaurant's award).

You might want to check the announcement from the Nobel committee when they awarded the prize. It might have said something like, "We give this award to IPCC and everyone who did the work to make their effort possible." If so, it would be less of a stretch for scientists involved in the effort to say that they won the award.

I figured as much. Thanks. Kind of troubling because I since discovered that googling this guy finds articles in the news media that describe him as a "Nobel laureate" - and the comments section turns into a debate about whether that's true or not, thus needlessly undermining him.

I dunno about the IPCC, but I worked on a film that won the VFX Oscar, and as Dude Number 342 Junior Artist, I always put that I provided services for "the Oscar-winning film XYZ." Having worked for climate guys before all that, though, I'm not at all surprised by your scenario. There's a lot of ego in that crowd.

Additioanlly, a Nobel Prize can never be shared by more than 3 people. This is why, for example, Robert Gallo and Douglas Prasher missed out on prizes last year.
