Welcome to the Homepage of SCC
The objective of this journal was and is, to publish – different to many other journals – also peer re-viewed scientific contributions, which contradict the often very unilateral climate hypotheses of the IPCC and thus, to open the view to alternative interpretations of climate change.
The journal is a non-profit venture, in the start-up phase hosted and strongly supported by the Norwegian Climate Realists Also, other climate organizations and their members support the journal with qualified publications or their engagement as co-editors and reviewers.
However, to be internationally better recognized as a largely independently operating journal, with the beginning of 2025 SCC is published by the SCC Publishing association.
In 2021 SCC started in the classical format publishing two volumes. Since 2022 it is operating as an Open Access Journal with very moderate publication fees, with a new layout and new website. In 2022 three volumes, in 2023 five volumes and in 2024 four volumes could be published, consisting of research and review articles, of essays, discussion papers, conference summaries and book reviews (see Papers).
So, within less than four years SCC could develop to an internationally recognized Journal of Climate Sciences presenting alternative views for a much broader discussion and understanding of climate phenomena.
We try to continue this successful work and at the same time to gain further experts on the wide field of climate sciences, who can strengthen the editorial work and support these objectives.

Completed Volumes in 2025
This volume contains
-an invited paper of William van Wijn-gaarden and Will Happer about the radiation transport in clouds,
-a review article about the role of CO2 in Global Warming, written by Grok 3,
-three research articles about the pitfalls in global warming (Dai Ato), about the reliability of climate model fore-casts for Policy Making (Kesten Green ad Willie Soon), and the role of sea surface temperatures on atmospheric CO2 (Bernard Robbins),
This is a Special Issue first published in Pattern Recognition in Physics (PRP: Vol. 1 & 2, 2013-2014) where various aspects of the Planetary–Solar–Terrestrial interaction are highlighted in 12 independent papers. But the original publications disappeared. Since they contain important science, the SCC has decided on re-issuing the original papers.

Veyres et. al: Revisiting the Carbon Cycle
The authors are critically revisiting the Carbon Cycle and find for the stock-to-outflow ratio of CO2 in the atmosphere a residence time of about five years. Accordingly, only about 5.5% of the atmospheric CO2 stock comes from fossil fuel emissions not yet absorbed by vegetation or oceans, while 94.5% originates from natural outgassing of oceans
Coleman: Could CO2 be the Principal Cause of Global Warming?
Earth’s average annual temperature has increased by near 1.50C since the 19th century. This has been analysed principally through computer-based climate models built up from causal hypotheses. The resulting theory of anthropogenic climate change (ACC) has the central hypothesis that observed global warming is driven linearly by rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG), especially
Sadar: Frightening Climate Story Lacks Depth of Climate Knowledge
This commentary is a conflation and revision of the author’s essays previously published in the American Thinker and the Washington Times. To counter climate anxiety, this treatise reflects the limited predictions of climate models, particularly the atmosphere’s temperature profile, where models are not merely uncertain but also show a common warming bias relative to observations.
Müller: On the Residence Time of CO2 in the Atmosphere
The impression is gained that there is still no conclusive physical description of the global behavior of CO2 absorption/emission in the various reservoirs. There is a growing group that is convinced, the residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere is approximately 4 years. Another group assumes a significantly longer residence time of 30 years or
Volume 5.4 October 2025
This is a special issue of Science of Climate Change which contains extended abstracts from the 6th Nordic Climate Conference which took place in Oslo – Gardermoen August 30-31, 2025. The conference was arranged by the Norwegian Climate Realists. The keynote speaker was Nobel Laureate John F. Clauser. The previous Nordic Conferences were held in
Schrijver: Historical CO₂ Levels in Periods of Global Greening
The increased atmospheric CO₂ level is widely recognized as a primary driver of global greening (a 30% increase in GPP since 1900). It raises the question whether such an increased CO₂ level is also a necessary condition for a large GPP. This paper evaluates whether CO₂ levels during historical periods of similar or more greenness
Huijser: Global Warming and the “impossible” Radiation Imbalance
Any perturbation in the radiative balance at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) that induces a net energy flux into- or out of Earth’s thermal system will result in a surface temperature response Correspondence: until a new equilibrium is reached. According to the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW)hypothesis which attributes global warming solely to rising concentrations
Grabyan: Global Atmospheric CO2 Lags Temperature by 150 yr between 1 and 1850 AD
This study investigates whether atmospheric CO₂ precedes or lags global temperature changes over the past 2000 yr, using both visual and statistical analyses. A parallel evaluation of Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) and temperature was conducted to assess the influence of solar forcing on climate variability. Temperature, CO₂, and TSI data were drawn from many well-established
