The present issue 6.1 covers publications accepted during the first half of 2026. It contains five research articles, two essays, one invited address and one corrigendum. The contributions address a broad range of subjects, including paleoclimatic temperature variability, the statistical analysis of possible climate drivers, ocean heat-content and Earth Energy Imbalance estimates, the economic and…
This study uses a specialized laboratory configuration to examine how strongly convection can influence atmospheric radiation effects and to what extent greenhouse gases are causing warming or cooling under controlled conditions. A cylindrical apparatus is used, containing a heated, blackened aluminum plate that represents the Earth’s surface. This plate can be positioned either below or […]
Solar control of global warming and cooling (Svensmark Theory) is supported by the similarity of two published graphs: (1) average near-surface air-temperature for the last 9,000 years (from proxies and, since 1880, NASA thermometer charts); and (2) solar-magnetic output (proxies). Graph-to-graph visual cross-matching of spikes (peaks, troughs) and of multi-century trends reveals a variable…
Science of Climate Change (SCC) is an independent, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to advancing rigorous scientific understanding of the Earth’s climate system and its governing processes. The journal is founded on the principle that climate science progresses through continuous scrutiny of prevailing assumptions, critical examination of explanatory frameworks, and the…
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, […]
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 […]
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…
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 […]
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 …
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 […]
