Szarka: What is Climate Science?
Around the world, in the field of environment, as connected to energy and climate, many common concepts are inherently confusing or have become confused. This paper highlights some of the related contradictions in such very basic concepts as science, climate, climate system, climate change. Historical documents (among others, the birth document of the Consensus in
Zharkova: Modern Grand Solar Minimum (2020-2053)
The two Principal Components (eigen vectors) derived with Principal Component Analysis from the solar background magnetic field defining two largest magnetic waves of the poloidal field of the Sun are shown to be generated in two layers by the solar dynamo with the dipole magnetic sources. The two magnetic waves revealed a noticeable phase shift
Báder: Surface Energy Balance of the Danube Region
The surface of the Earth is heated by solar radiation (shortwave radiation) passing through the atmosphere. The air near the earth’s surface is heated from below using this energy converting the shortwave radiation to other forms. According to the law of conservation of energy, the incoming and outgoing energies are equal. Continents are warming faster
Szarka: Conference “Beyond the Climate Change Consensus”
This is an introductory article to the papers based on presentations at the conference “Beyond the Climate Change Consensus” (BCCC, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, December 8, 2025) and its pre-event. It was a unique symbol: unprecedented for a country’s national academy to provide an official scientific forum on climate without censorship. In this paper 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
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
Kalendra : Conference: Climate Change, Facts, Myths and Science
I am very pleased to welcome you here in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic for an international scientific conference organised by the CLINTEL (Climate Intelligence) Foundation. Our conference follows on from previous ones held in Pribram-Prague (2015), London (2016) and Porto (2018). Unfortunately, there will be no further meetings
Žáček : Climate Variability in the Mountainous Region of Kyrgyzstan and its Origin
In the years 2007 – 2010, a project was implemented in remote areas of Kyrgyzstan aimed at analyzing the risks and mitigation of the consequences of potential dam bursting of alpine lakes as a result of climate change. As part of this project, climatic data were gathered and evaluated, capturing their progress over longer periods
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
Scafetta : Impacts and Risks of “Realistic“ Global Warming Projections for the 21st Century
The IPCC AR6 assessment of the impacts and risks associated with projected climate changes for the 21st century is both alarming and ambiguous. According to computer projections, global surface temperature may warm from 1.3 °C to 8.0 °C by 2100, depending on the global climate model (GCM) and the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenario used
