Welcome to the Homepage 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, in the start-up phase hosted and strongly supported by the Norwegian Climate Realists Also, other climate organizations and their members support the journal with qualified publications or their engagement as co-editors and review­ers.

However, to be internationally better recognized as a largely indepen­dently operating journal, with the beginning of 2025 SCC is published by the SCC Publishing association.

In 2021 SCC started in the classical format publishing two volumes. Since 2022 it is operating as an Open Access Journal with very moder­ate publication fees, with a new layout and new website. In 2022 three volumes, in 2023 five volumes and in 2024 four 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 four 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 this 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 these objectives.

Completed Volumes in 2025

Volume 5.1 June 2025

This volume contains 

-an invited paper of William van Wijn-gaarden and Will Happer about the radiation transport in clouds, 

-a review article about the role of CO2 in Global Warming, written by Grok 3,

-three research articles about the pitfalls in global warming (Dai Ato), about the reliability of climate model fore-casts for Policy Making (Kesten Green ad Willie Soon), and the role of sea surface temperatures on atmospheric CO2 (Bernard Robbins),

Volume 5.2 June 2025

This is a Special Issue first published in Pattern Recognition in Physics (PRP: Vol. 1 & 2, 2013-2014) where various aspects of the Planetary–Solar–Terrestrial interaction are highlighted in 12 independent papers. But the original publications disappeared. Since they contain important science, the SCC has decided on re-issuing the original papers.

New Publications

  • Koutsoyiannis: H2O, CO2, Climate Change

    This paper is a summary of recent results of the author, documented in 14 peer-reviewed journal papers and other research items published in the last 5 years. A list of collected telltale signs makes it obvious that “climate science” is not science. The misguidance is illustrated by a few striking examples. The main scientific results,…

  • Vinós: Radiative versus Thermodynamic Climate Change

    The predominant view attributes climate change to altered atmospheric radiative properties caused by greenhouse gases and aerosols. This paper proposes an additional thermodynamic framework, emphasizing the role of meridional (horizontal) energy transport between the tropics and poles. Because the greenhouse effect is strong in humid tropics and weak in dry polar regions, changes in poleward…

  • Furfari: Energy Geopolitics and the EU

    This presentation, delivered at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Furfari 2025), provides a critical examination of the European Union’s current energy policy, with a particular focus on decarbonisation and the rapid integration of renewable energy technologies. Drawing on decades of professional experience in energy policy and geopolitics within the European Commission, the analysis reveals a…

  • Embey-Isztin: In Terms of Scientific Consensus

    When it comes to public consensus, climate science is in a critical phase. On the one hand, publishing climate scientists do show a massively overwhelming consensus on what causes presentday climate change, on the other side, climate sceptics categorically deny this. At the same time, they fail to reach an internal consensus; as there is…

  • Kovács: On Geological CO2 Emissions

    Geological CO₂ emissions from intraplate regions remain poorly quantified despite their relevance to the long-term carbon cycle. Observations from the Pannonian Basin indicate measurable mantle-derived degassing, highlighting the need for improved constraints on non-volcanic geological CO₂ fluxes. Continue reading …

  • Huszar et. al: Argued Answers to Questions about the Climate Situation and Energy Production

    Nowadays, public discourse and scientific interest seem to be dominated by one topic: climate change. The facts are stubborn, extraordinary atmospheric and geological phenomena have multiplied in recent decades and are occurring with unusual intensity. It is foolish to deny their objectivity. However, a meaningful discourse could be conducted about the underlying causes. Are the…

  • Shelley: Are we in the Midst of a Climate Crisis? – NO

    It is a simple and seductive argument: (1) we are burning fossil fuels and emitting CO 2 into the atmosphere; (2) CO2 is a greenhouse gas; (3) the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing; (4) the world is warming; (5) ergo, our emissions are causing this warming and climate change. We are told…

  • Garbai et. al: Absorption of Thermal Radiation in the Atmosphere in the Presence of CO₂

    The paradigmatic challenges of our time include the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmos- phere, their influence on the Earth’s climate, global warming, and the green transition. The assessment of these issues and their relative importance divides the scientific community. Some researchers deny the existence of a significant greenhouse effect and its influence on…
