Sensible Heat /Latent Heat ratio determines the pace of the planetary warming
Sensible Heat /Latent Heat ratio Opponent: "Christos Vournas's claims in his X post are not aligned with mainstream climate science. His interpretation of CO2 in ice cores as indicating colder periods is incorrect, as CO2 is trapped as gas and correlates with warmer periods. His view on current warming being due to orbital forcing, not human activity, is unsupported, given the rapid pace and magnitude of modern warming driven by greenhouse gases. These findings highlight the importance of aligning interpretations with established scientific data and consensus." Answer: "given the rapid pace and magnitude of modern warming" Yes, in last 100 years we observe a rapid pace of modern warming. Let's explain: Earth's surface is covered about ~ 70% with oceanic waters. Also vast areas on land have water in soils and in plants... Water is mostly present in liquid phase, but also water exists on Earth's surface in solid phase (snow and ice). We have the seasonal changes in temperatures, because

The higher CO2 content in ice core samples relates with a colder climate
Opponent's comment: " mainstream climate science relies on extensive data like ice core samples showing CO2’s role in rapid warming." Answer: " Density 1562kg/m3 (solid at 1 atm (100 kPa) and −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F)) " Link: Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia - On Earth the CO2 is a condencing gas when it is in an extreme low temperatures (less than −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F)). That much low temperatures may occur at Earth's polar regions and at high altitudes (Greenland, Antarctic, at some 3.000 m high glaciers) and, more intensively, when Earth is in planetary colder periods (Ice Ages). The higher CO2 content in ice core samples is related to the extremely lower temperatures when the ice in samples was created. The mechanism of CO2 capture in ice - it is not the air captured in snow flakes and being suppressed in ice... what is used to think happens - and so it was mistakenly concluded the high CO2 content in ice cores is related to higher CO2 concentration in atmospheric air - and, because it is (al

The Global Warming is an orbital phenomenon
The currently observable global warming is a natural process caused by the Earth’s position while orbiting sun, it is the so called the ORBITAL FORCING. There is nothing we can do to reverse the ORBITAL FORCING. It is a natural process. We shoud adapt…

A combination of electricity production units is the best choice
What I think is a combination of all-kinds-energy-units system is the best. It should include all of them – the conventional, the renewables and the storaging. So the more differentiated electricity producing sourses – it is the best choice.

A dialog:
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. His Earth-Mars comp

A dialog:
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
