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.

  • Nicola Scafetta: The Frontier of Climate Science

    This article summarizes my public presentation of the book The Frontier of Climate Science: Solar Variability, Natural Cycles and Model Uncertainty. The book reviews the main current open issues in climate science: the questionable near-total attribution of post-1850 warming to anthropogenic causes alone, the use of unrealistic emission scenarios (SSPs), the wide uncertainty range in…

  • Paul Schmidt: Resumption of Nuclear instead of even more Wind Power

    On April 15, 2023, Germany took its last three commercial nuclear power plants off the grid. Only thirteen years before then, in 2010, 17 reactors had supplied about one third of the German electricity consumption. Since then, Germany has expanded wind and solar electricity production capacity far beyond need, but its availableness remains as low…

  • Willis Eschenbach: On the Evaluation of Climate Models

    Over many years there have been discussions, and also disagreement, about how well climate models can predict the future climate. The IPCC asserts that climate models are based on established physical laws along with a wealth of observations, so the models must be very good representations of nature. A prominent climate scientist and energy analyst…

  • Jonathan Cohler , Willie Soon: Mathematical Falsification of the Fossil-Dominant Hypothesis

    The IPCC, NASA, NOAA, and EPA state that essentially all of the observed rise in atmospheric CO2 since the pre-industrial era originates from fossil-fuel combustion. This paper shows that claim is mathematically inconsistent with the isotopic record those same agencies rely on. The Keeling plot of δ13C against 1/C has an intercept δ13CI equal to…

  • 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…

  • Dominique Görlitz: Climate Change, Maritime Mobility and Cultural Contacts

    Climatic and geomorphological changes can accelerate mobility, resource crises and the reorganization of settlement areas. The presentation ‘Archaeology and Climate’ therefore combines the Holocene flooding of the Persian Gulf, the emergence of the Naqada culture in Egypt and maritime contacts as far as the Atlantic into a large-scale working hypothesis. The present contribution examines which…
