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.

  • 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…

  • Aaslid: Climate Science versus Politics

    Starting with a critical look at the IPCC science, from the excellent First Assessment Report in 1990 and downhill to the latest Sixth Assessment Report with its claim that we have had no natural climate change since the pre-industrial era, we also take a closer look at the 2010 IAC critical evaluation of IPCC, as…

  • Cederlöf: The Temperature Fluctuations in Uppsala has Natural Causes

    The temperature record from Uppsala in Sweden starts already in 1722. This is one of the world’s longest temperature series available. A great job has been made to adjust and homogenize this data to be consistent over time, measurement locations and changed equipment. However, during the 20th and 21th century this temperature series has diverged…

  • Solheim: SCC – the three first years

    The scientific journal Science of Climate Change was initiated by the Climate Realists in Norway in the summer of 2020. The first issue appeared in August 2021 and the journal has now existed in 3 years and produced 11 issues. The objective of this journal was and is, to publish – different to many other…

  • Hansen: The Danish Energy Transition

    Denmark has set ambitious goals for CO₂-emission reductions and wishes to play the role of front-runner in the World. However, in reality the results are not so impressive and the transition is running into serious difficulties. Continue reading …

  • Brekkestø: The Rise and Fall of Civilizations in a Climate Perspective

    Civilizations flourished during the warm periods, such as the Bronze Age, the Roman era, and the medieval times, when weather conditions were relatively stable with more precipitation in the tropic and subtropical areas. Civilizations experienced decline or succumbed during the cold periods, such as 1 200 to 500 BC, 300 to 700 AD and the…

  • Nordin: The Role of Science in Climate Politics

    I gave a short introduction to the climate conference in Mölndal 26-27 October 2024. The theme of the conference was “Science and Politics” so I picked up a couple of basic philosophical words of wisdom for this occasion. The first sentence comes from the 18th century philosopher David Hume with the following logic statement:¬ (Is…

  • 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…
