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.

Ronan Connolly: Adjusting the Data or Rewriting History?
Annual “hottest-year-on-record” headlines rely on global temperature-anomaly indices built from weather-station data that are incomplete, geographically biased and contaminated by non-climatic artefacts (urbanization, poor siting, instrument changes). Automated homogenization algorithms, especially NOAA’s Pairwise Homogenization Algorithm, are widely believed to overcome these challenges. However, in practice they often rewrite station records on a daily (or monthly)…
Anja Arndt: Europe’s Energy Supply under Pressure
This paper summarises a presentation on the implications of the EU Methane Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 on the reduction of methane emissions in the energy sector from the political perspective of the author as an AfD Member of the European Parliament and representative of the Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) Group. The central thesis of the…
Marc Morano: The Great Reject
This paper outlines a historic shift in global climate policy and public perception, detailing the rapid deflation of the “Great Reset” and net-zero agendas as of 2026. It argues that the climate movement has hit its lowest point of influence in fifty years due to three primary drivers: the collapse of institutional appeal to authority…
Horst-Joachim Lüdecke: Wind Energy means going back to the Middle Ages
Is ‘going back in the Middle Ages’ too polemical? After all, there was no electricity in the Middle moluedecke@t- Ages, whereas wind turbines are built using the most modern technologies. However, the natural rule of human technical progress is to always increase the available power and energy density. This historical progression began with draft animals…
Schnell and Harde: Radiative and Convective Heat-Transfer in the Atmosphere.
This study uses a specialized laboratory configuration to examine how strongly convection can influence atmospheric radiation effects and to what extent greenhouse gases are causing warming or cooling under controlled conditions. A cylindrical apparatus is used, containing a heated, blackened aluminum plate that represents the Earth’s surface. This plate can be positioned either below or…
