Climate Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Inter-Research Science Center that was established in 1990. Its founder was Otto Kinne.[1] Three volumes are published each year. Climate Research covers all aspects of the interactions of climate with organisms, ecosystems, and human societies.

In 2006, a special issue of the journal, titled "Advances in Applying Climate Prediction to Agriculture", was published under open access.[2][3]

Soon and Baliunas controversy

Main article: Soon and Baliunas controversy

In 2003, a controversial paper written by Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas was published in the journal after being accepted by editor Chris de Freitas.[4][5] The article reviewed 240 previous papers and concluded that "Across the world, many records reveal that the 20th century is probably not the warmest or a uniquely extreme climatic period of the last millennium".[5] In response to the controversy over the paper's publication, several scientists, including newly appointed editor-in-chief Hans von Storch, resigned from the journal's editorial board.[6][7]
