Science of Climate Change (SCC)
Science of Climate Change (SCC) is an independent, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of the Earth’s climate system and its governing processes. The journal publishes original research articles, review papers, methodological studies, data analyses, and scholarly discussion addressing climate variability and change across spatial and temporal scales.
SCC welcomes scientifically grounded contributions from a broad range of climate-related disciplines, including atmospheric sciences, meteorology, hydrology, land-atmosphere interactions, oceanic and cryospheric processes, solar and astronomical influences on climate, climate data analysis, and Earth-system modelling.
Established in 2021, SCC has developed into an international publication operating under a not-for-profit framework supported by moderate article processing charges that sustain editorial management, peer review coordination, and digital dissemination. All published content is freely accessible worldwide immediately upon release, ensuring broad scientific exchange without subscription barriers. Since 2025, the journal has been published by the SCC Publishing Association.

Kovács: On Geological CO2 Emissions
Geological CO₂ emissions from intraplate regions remain poorly quantified despite their relevance to the long-term carbon cycle. Observations from the Pannonian Basin indicate measurable mantle-derived degassing, highlighting the need for improved constraints on non-volcanic geological CO₂ fluxes. Continue reading …
Huszar et. al: Argued Answers to Questions about the Climate Situation and Energy Production
Nowadays, public discourse and scientific interest seem to be dominated by one topic: climate change. The facts are stubborn, extraordinary atmospheric and geological phenomena have multiplied in recent decades and are occurring with unusual intensity. It is foolish to deny their objectivity. However, a meaningful discourse could be conducted about the underlying causes. Are the…
Shelley: Are we in the Midst of a Climate Crisis? – NO
It is a simple and seductive argument: (1) we are burning fossil fuels and emitting CO 2 into the atmosphere; (2) CO2 is a greenhouse gas; (3) the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing; (4) the world is warming; (5) ergo, our emissions are causing this warming and climate change. We are told…
Garbai et. al: Absorption of Thermal Radiation in the Atmosphere in the Presence of CO₂
The paradigmatic challenges of our time include the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmos- phere, their influence on the Earth’s climate, global warming, and the green transition. The assessment of these issues and their relative importance divides the scientific community. Some researchers deny the existence of a significant greenhouse effect and its influence on…
Klaus: Clintel and Climate Change: A Few Remarks from a Klimarealist
Professor Kvalheim, Distinguished Audience, Ladies and Gentlemen, many thanks for bringing me to Norway. As the recently appointed second president of Clintel, I have received several invitations from Clintel supporters in foreign countries, but yours is the first I have accepted. I don’t know why. Perhaps because your invitation, as well as the talk with…
Szarka: What is Climate Science?
Around the world, in the field of environment, as connected to energy and climate, many common concepts are inherently confusing or have become confused. This paper highlights some of the related contradictions in such very basic concepts as science, climate, climate system, climate change. Historical documents (among others, the birth document of the Consensus in…
