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.{{cite web |url=https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2005/05/some-it-hot |title=Some Like It Hot |format= |work=Mother Jones |accessdate=1 December 2009 |date=May–June 2005}}{{cite journal|last=Soon|first=Willie|author2=Sallie Baliunas|date=January 2003|title=Proxy climatic and environmental changes of the past 1000 years|journal=Climate Research|publisher=Inter-Research Science Center|volume=23|pages=89–110|url=https://www.int-res.com/articles/cr2003/23/c023p089.pdf|doi=10.3354/cr023089|bibcode=2003ClRes..23...89S|doi-access=free}} 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". Many of the scientists cited in the paper denied this conclusion and protested that their data and results had been misrepresented.{{cite book|author1=Hoggan, James|author2=Littlemore, Richard|title=Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming|pages=[https://archive.org/details/climatecoverupcr0000hogg/page/104 104–5]|publisher=Greystone Books|year=2009|isbn=978-1-55365-485-8|url=https://archive.org/details/climatecoverupcr0000hogg/page/104}} In response to the handling by the journal publisher of 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.{{cite journal|last=Monastersky|first=Richard|title=Storm Brews Over Global Warming|journal=The Chronicle of Higher Education|date=September 2003|volume=50|issue=2|pages=A16|url=http://www.arp.harvard.edu/sci/climate/journalclub/ChronicleEd.pdf|access-date=4 August 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100107093837/http://www.arp.harvard.edu/sci/climate/journalclub/ChronicleEd.pdf|archive-date=7 January 2010|url-status=dead}}{{cite journal|last=Kinne|first=Otto|date=August 2003|title=Climate Research: an article unleashed worldwide storms|journal=Climate Research|publisher=Inter-Research Science Center|volume=24|pages=197–198|url=https://www.int-res.com/articles/misc/CREditorial.pdf|doi=10.3354/cr024197|bibcode=2003ClRes..24..197K}} "While these statements may be true, the critics point out that they cannot be concluded convincingly from the evidence provided in the paper. CR should have requested appropriate revisions of the manuscript prior to publication."
