The greenhouse effect says that the earth is warmed by the sun, then the earth radiates infrared away from its surface, then greenhouse gases absorb that radiation and RE RADIATE IT BACK TO THE SURFACE where that radiation further warms the surface resulting in more radiation emitting from the surface of the earth than it would radiate if there were no greenhouse gasses...
This is the problem.. The atmosphere is COOLER than the surface. How exactly does it warm it? The absence of a warmer area capable of this warming is necessary, without it AGW dies..
You're an incredible knucklehead. The earth has an energy balance. How much energy it receives, how much is stored, how much is radiated back into space. It's always being warmed by the sun at a fairly constant flux. How much energy is radiated to space is regulated by greenhouse gases, among other things. The difference is how much is stored. The stronger the greenhouse effect, the more energy is stored. Do you get it now, dummy? The greenhouse effect has to do with how much energy is radiated to space, not how much energy we receive from the sun.
