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.

Monckton et al. : An Error of Temperature Feedback Analysis
After correcting an error that arose in 1984 when climatologists borrowed, misunderstood and misapplied feedback formulism from control theory in engineering physics, global warming will continue (till hydrocarbon reserves are exhausted) at the net-beneficial 0.15 Kdecade observed rate, half the long-predicted but erroneous 0.3 K decade midrange rate.

Fűrst : Mathematical Models are Weapons of Mass Destruction
In 2007, the total value of an exotic form of financial insurance called Credit Default Swap (CDS) reached $67 trillion. This number exceeded the global GDP in that year by about fifteen percent. In other words – someone in the financial markets made a bet greater than the value of everything produced in the world…
Kalenda : What was the First? Temperature or CO2?
This presentation and study was made in memory of Prof. Murry Salby (1951 – 2022), who in his textbook of climatology pointed out the marginal influence of humanity on the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and who in lectures in Sydney 2011, Edinburgh 2013, Essen 2015, London 2015, 2016 and Hamburg 2018 deduced…
Koutsoyiannis : The Relationship between Atmospheric Temperature and Carbon Dioxide Concentration
Human-produced CO₂ by fossil fuel combustion, combined with the rising atmospheric CO₂ concentration and the observed temperature increase, enabled a compelling narrative to be constructed, in which these three facts, in that order, formed a chain of causality. The narrative has been embraced by global political elites to promote their interests. It has also become…
Croll : Does the Geological Evidence Indicate a Causal Link between CO2 and Climate Change?
Climate is changing and always has with many and varied recognised drivers. Earth‘s interaction with our celestial neighbours within the solar system and the solar systems relationships within the galaxy being perhaps the most recognised and important of these primary drivers of climate change at virtually all time scales. On the other hand, GHGs and…
Masson : From Correlations to Causalities between Climate Proxies at the Pacific Ocean-Atmosphere Interface
The Climate system is an extremely complex one, and it is necessary to understand its structure before analysing its dynamics and trying to make some projections of it. A key component of the Climate system is the ocean-atmosphere interface. The oceans cover 70 % of the Earth surface, and the Pacific Ocean is the largest…
