Welcome to the Home Page 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, hosted and supported by the Norwegian Klimarealistene (KR – Climate Realists). Also, other climate organizations and their members support the journal with qualified publications or their engagement as guest-editors and reviewers.
In 2021 SCC started in the classical format publishing two volumes, altogether 271 pages. Since 2022 it is operating as Open Access Journal with very moderate publication fees, with a new layout and new website. In 2022 three volumes and in 2023 five 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 three 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 the previous 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 those objectives.

Huijser: Greenhouse Feedbacks are Intrinsic Properties of the Planck Feedback Parameter
The idea that our climate reacts differently to anthropogenic forcings than to natural instabilities through the phenomenon of “feedbacks”, seems widespread. This paper shows that climate feedbacks are not effects induced by forcings, but in fact “constitute” our climate. Independent from the origin of a disturbance, our climate will always respond according to the Planck…
Schrijver: Impact of global greening on the natural atmospheric CO₂ level
In this study we investigate the impact of greening on the Earth in terms of gross primary production (GPP) on the natural atmospheric CO₂ level. The total mass of CO₂ in the atmosphere is equal to the yearly amount of CO₂ that leaves the atmosphere (down flux), multiplied by the average time CO₂ remains in…
Koutsoyiannis: Relative importance of carbon dioxide and water in the greenhouse effect
Using a detailed atmospheric radiative transfer model, we derive macroscopic relationships of downwelling and outgoing longwave radiation which enable determining the partial derivatives thereof with respect to the explanatory variables that represent the greenhouse gases. We validate these macroscopic relationships using empirical formulae based on downwelling radiation data, commonly used in hydrology, and satellite data…
Büsing: Systematic Error in Global Temperatures due to Weather Station Ageing
The white paint or white plastic of the housings of weather stations ages, which leads to increased absorption of solar radiation and to increased temperature measurements. This alone would be a small error. However, many different state-of-the-art homogenization algorithms repeatedly add this small value each time a weather station is renovated, renewed, or replaced, which…
Ato: Multivariate Analysis Rejects the Theory of Human-caused Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Increase.
The impact of certain factors on the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations has yet to be elucidated. In particular, the impacts of sea surface temperature (SST) on the balance of CO₂ emissions and absorption in the atmosphere and the human use of fossil fuels have not been rigorously compared. In this study, the…
Volume 4.2 December 2024
Volume 4 consists of two regular issues, Vol. 4.1 and 4.2. An additional issue, Vol. 4.3, contains all presentations on the CLINTEL Climate Conference in Prague. Vol. 4.4 is planned for contributions of the Climate Conference 2024 in Mölndal, Sweden. This issue, Vol. 4.2, starts with an article of Dai Ato, who has rigorously examined…
W. A. van Wijngaarden and W. Happer: Radiation Transport in Clouds
We briefly review the dominant role of clouds in Earth’s climate. The earliest observational studies of heat transfer through Earth’s atmosphere, for example, those of John Leslie around 1800, showed that clouds have a large effect on radiative heat transfer from Earth’s surface to space. Greenhouse gases also affect heat transfer, but much less than…
Volume 4.3 December 2024
This is a special issue of the Journal Science of Climate Change (SCC) which contains programme and extended abstracts from the International CLINTEL Scientific Conference in Prague, November 12 and 13, 2024, in the premises of the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic. It also contains a climate declaration given by the end of…
