Norman Lockyer founded the journal 'Nature', respected for its peer-reviewing tradition:
Nature is a prominent interdisciplinary scientific journal. It was first published on 4 November 1869.[1] It was ranked the world's most cited by the Science Edition of the 2010 Journal Citation Reports and is widely regarded as one of the few remaining academic journals that publish original research across a wide range of scientific fields.[2]
The creation of Nature
Not long after the conclusion of The Reader, a former editor, Norman Lockyer, decided to create a new scientific journal titled Nature,[11]taking its name from a line by William Wordsworth: "To the solid ground of nature trusts the Mind that builds for aye".[12] First owned and published by Alexander Macmillan, Nature was similar to its predecessors in its attempt to "provide cultivated readers with an accessible forum for reading about advances in scientific knowledge."[11]

And the journal has considered climate change very seriously over the years:

Focus: Precipitation trends and extremes
The hydrological cycle influences the development of societies, as well as human lifestyles and well-being across the globe. How climate change might affect the timing and variability of precipitation, along with the resulting floods and droughts could significantly impact agriculture, water resources and natural ecosystems. In this web focus, we present a variety of articles, including original research, that highlight trends in precipitation and flooding under climate change.

Climate assessments: 25 years of the IPCC
A graphical tour through the history of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the science that underlies it.
Article tools
- The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was founded 25 years ago to provide authoritative assessments on the emerging problem of climate change. Since its first report in 1990, the IPCC has issued increasingly complex follow-ups about every six years. The climate models that feed into the assessments have grown bigger and better, but researchers have not succeeded in reducing some key uncertainties about climate change. Where the reports have grown most firm is in declaring that humans are causing the world to warm.
