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, hosted and supported by the Norwegian Klimarealistene (KR – Climate Realists). Also, other climate organizations and their members support the journal with qualified publications or their engagement as guest-editors and reviewers.
In 2021 SCC started in the classical format publishing two volumes, altogether 271 pages. Since 2022 it is operating as Open Access Journal with very moderate publication fees, with a new layout and new website. In 2022 three volumes (309 pages) and in 2023 five volumes (575 pages) could be published, consisting of research and review articles, of essays, discussion papers, conference summaries and book reviews (see Papers).
So, within less than three 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. This success is essentially due to the dedicated commitment of the Chief Editors, in the founding phase, Geir Hasnes, and since October 2022, Prof. Jan-Erik Solheim, strongly supported by Stein Bergsmark. Unfortunately, Jan-Erik Solheim is no longer available as chief-editor.
The Scientific Board of Klimarealistene and the Editorial Board of SCC would like to thank them all for their unprecedented engagement, the good cooperation within the board and their further advice.
The new Editorial Board tries to continue the previous 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 who are well-known representatives of their countries and/or organizations. This should also contribute to a closer exchange and cooperation between different scientists and nations.
