His blog challenges mainstream climate science by asserting that Earth’s atmosphere is too thin to significantly warm the planet, instead emphasizing that faster rotation allows more solar energy to be absorbed as heat, a claim that contradicts the conventional Stefan-Boltzmann law application to planetary temperatures. Christos Vournas argues that Earth's atmosphere is too thin to cause significant greenhouse warming, a view that contradicts mainstream climate science, which attributes global temperature rise to increased CO2 trapping infrared radiation, as evidenced by NASA data showing CO2 levels rising since the Industrial Revolution. Vournas claims faster planetary rotation increases solar energy absorption as heat, challenging the Stefan-Boltzmann law's application in climate models; however, peer-reviewed studies (e.g., Journal of Climate, 2019) affirm the law's role in stabilizing climate sensitivity, showing colder regions warm more due to its nonlinearity.

Christos Vournas’ "Rotational Warming Phenomenon" theory claims Earth’s higher average surface temperature compared to the Moon ( 288K vs. 220K ) stems from its faster rotation ( 1 rotation/day vs. 1 /29.5 days ) and higher surface heat capacity ( water’s specific heat of 1 cal/gr°C vs. lunar regolith’s 0.19 cal/gr°C ), not atmospheric greenhouse effects, challenging the mainstream view that Earth’s atmosphere primarily drives its warmth. Vournas’ equation, Tmean = [ Φ(1-a)S (βNcp)^(1/4 ) /(4σ) ]^(1/4), suggests a planet’s mean surface temperature (Tmean) rises with the product of rotation rate (N) and specific heat (cp) to the 1/16th power, implying faster-rotating planets absorb more solar energy as heat; for Earth and Moon, this ratio ( 288K /206.7K for equal albedo ) aligns closely with their ( N*cp )^(1/16) ratio, differing by just 1.63%. The theory contradicts established climate science, as NASA and NOAA data attribute Earth’s warming to greenhouse gases like CO2, with a consens

A dialog: - You know, there is not any atmospheric greenhouse warming on Earth's surface... "What? Not any greenhouse warming ??? "The Earth is warmer than Moon, because of the atmosphere - don't you know that? It is the atmosphere that keeps Earth warm! " - Earth's atmosphere is very thin and transparent - it doesn't keep Earth warm. It is the Rotational Warming Phenomenon which makes Earth warmer than Moon. "Very strange - because everyone knows - it is the atmosphere what keeps Earth warm. Now you are saying..." - Earth rotates much faster than Moon. This is basical for the Rotational Warming. "The rotation causes some friction... It is the nuttiest thing I ever heard!" - It is not friction, it is the interaction with solar energy that is different when planet rotates faster. "So it is not friction. What is it then? It is a very STRANGE THEORY, what does it mean? And what is the use of it?" - The first thing is that Earth is WARMER than Moon, because Earth has a higher (N*cp) produc

The energy storage main problem
The storage of the exsessive electric energy is a very expensive stand-by equipment endeavour. A stand-by unit is a stand-by unit, no matter the way it operates. Let’s explain: Assuming we have Renewables which are supported with stand-by conventional units. And assuming we have Renewables which are supported with stand-by storage units. When there is not wind and solar, the conventional units will produce electricity. But when there is not wind and solar, the storage units will not produce electricity, because they would be empty. And, when there is a lot of wind and solar, the storage units will not produce electricity, because they would stand-by. And they will not storage more exsessive electricity, when they are already charged. If we built more storage units – for all the exsessive green electricity to accumulate – there will be enourmous large stand-by reservoirs. –
