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
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),
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.

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
Klaus: Clintel and Climate Change: A Few Remarks from a Klimarealist
Professor Kvalheim, Distinguished Audience, Ladies and Gentlemen, many thanks for bringing me to Norway. As the recently appointed second president of Clintel, I have received several invitations from Clintel supporters in foreign countries, but yours is the first I have accepted. I don’t know why. Perhaps because your invitation, as well as the talk with
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
Humlum: The State of the Climate 2025 Global and Arctic
Real observations show a slight decrease of global temperature in 2025 compared with the previous ten years. Some stations in the Arctic show warming, but most are fairly stable. The Arctic Ocean is cooling to considerable depth, while the tropical and Antarctic oceans have a slight surface warming. The sea level trend is not changing
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
