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.

Ollila: Radiative Forcing of Water Vapour and its Use in Climate Models
Corrigendum In Ollila (2025) there is a spelling error in the manuscript. Equation (2) in the corrected form is:RF = -60.01 +18.435 * ln(HTPW) [Wm-2]This error has had no impact on the results since the right form of equation (2) has been applied in the calculations. Continue reading …
Cohler et. al: Earth Energy Imbalance Assessment
Global ocean heat content (OHC) anomalies and derived Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) estimates, central to contemporary climate assessments including IPCC AR6, are constructed through processes that violate the scientific method. These metrics rely almost exclusively on temperature data from the Argo profiling float array. Their validity and reliability hinge on several critical but herein refuted
Ato: Rejection of Man-made Positive Feedback
The anthropogenic theory of global warming advocated by the IPCC is based on the theory that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from anthropogenic emissions causes warming, which in turn increases water vapor, triggering a positive feedback loop that leads to further warming and CO2 rise. This study examines the validity of this theory using the
Hatton: Is a 1.1°C Rise in a Century Unusual?
Much public discourse in global warming centres around the oft-quoted rise in temperature of approximately 1.1°C in global average temperature in the post-industrial period. This is considered in some quarters to constitute a “Climate Emergency” demanding “Climate Action”. In this paper we first dissect the background behind this number and what it means. Second, we
Ollila: Radiative Forcing of Water Vapour
The positive feedback of water vapour has been the basic feature of General Circulation Models (GCMs), which approximately doubles the warming impacts of any other climate drivers. Some published scientific papers have shown that simple climate models without this feature can simulate the temperatures of the 2000s very well. On the other hand, the observed
Veyres et. al: Revisiting the Carbon Cycle
The authors are critically revisiting the Carbon Cycle and find for the stock-to-outflow ratio of CO2 in the atmosphere a residence time of about five years. Accordingly, only about 5.5% of the atmospheric CO2 stock comes from fossil fuel emissions not yet absorbed by vegetation or oceans, while 94.5% originates from natural outgassing of oceans
Coleman: Could CO2 be the Principal Cause of Global Warming?
Earth’s average annual temperature has increased by near 1.50C since the 19th century. This has been analysed principally through computer-based climate models built up from causal hypotheses. The resulting theory of anthropogenic climate change (ACC) has the central hypothesis that observed global warming is driven linearly by rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG), especially
Sadar: Frightening Climate Story Lacks Depth of Climate Knowledge
This commentary is a conflation and revision of the author’s essays previously published in the American Thinker and the Washington Times. To counter climate anxiety, this treatise reflects the limited predictions of climate models, particularly the atmosphere’s temperature profile, where models are not merely uncertain but also show a common warming bias relative to observations.
