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.

Theodorus Bernardus Wolters: Fact checking Climate Science
The presentation analyses the four existing lines of proof for the CAGW hypothesis and concludes that all four fail: The first line of proof is the “proof by contradiction”: the observed temperature change can only be explained by the known climate forcings if CO₂ is responsible for all the warming. However, the ensemble of forcings…
Ian Dexter Palmer: Maunder Missing Link Implies Solar Forcing Cannot be Ignored
Our approach honors the Maunder Minimum and the Modern Maximum, the two bookends, and also honors the large temperature increase of 0.75℃ between 1700 and 1950. This temperature increase is attributed to solar forcing, since greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations are very small or non-existent in this interval. If the total solar irradiance, TSI, data of…
John F. Clauser: Global Warming, Climate Change, and Scientific Consensus have not been Proven
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), along with its various collaborators and contributors (IPCC et al.), forecast an impending climate crisis with catastrophic consequences for the Earth’s population. They predict an alarming increase in the frequency of dangerous extreme weather events and other bad natural phenomena. This work provides a quantitative scientific…
Volume 6.3 October 2026
This is a special issue of Science of Climate Change, which contains summaries from the 17th International EIKE Climate and Energy Conference, IKEK-17, which took place in Halle, Germany, June 26 – 27, 2026. Science of Climate Change is an independent, peer-reviewed and fully open-access scholarly journal devoted to advancing scientific understanding of the Earth’s…
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)…
