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.

During this cycle, which started in 2015, the IPCC published three special reports: Global Warming of 1.5 °C in October 2018; Climate Change and Land in August 2019; and Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in…

  • Szarka: Historical and Recent Publications in Hungary on Climate Change

    Gratefully acknowledging the initiative of the Czech CLINTEL Working Group, I decided to present a collection of Hungarian and Hungary-related results that explicitly or implicitly address any of the five topics of the conference “Climate change, facts and myths in the light of science”. Long-term quantitative data series (from meteorological, geophysical, heliophysical observatories) have a…

  • Procházka: The Carbon Cycle, ‘Renewable’ and ‘Non-renewable’

    A common myth is that the fossil fuel combustion (with only minor amount of fossil carbon liberated by cement- and lime production) liberated such amounts of carbon which had been deposited for tens of millions of years. However, this is not possible even theoretically: the vast majority of carbon in the sediments is in non-combustible…
