Greenhouse Effect is nothing more than the primary miracle of the WACKY Global Warming religious dogma in much the same way that the Resurrection of Christ is the primary miracle of Christianity.
The Greenhouse Effect miracle states that earth's atmosphere causes an increase in the earth's average global temperature. Different denominations of the Global Warming faith have different explanations for how this is accomplished, each one tailored to the differing subtenets of the denomination. Some claim that mystical greenhouse gas somehow has the magical superpower to cause the atmosphere to defy the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Others claim that atmospheres themselves have the magical superpower to defy the laws of thermodynamics. Regardless of the specifics, no atmosphere or composition thereof can increase the earth's average global temperature without additional energy. As such, Greenhouse Effect and all Global Warming dogma targets the scientifically illiterate because those who recognize the physics violations tend to therefore dismiss the religion out of hand.
The fact of the matter is that an atmosphere has no effect whatsoever on the average global temperature. The effect of the atmosphere is to "shift" all temperatures closer to/towards the average global temperature, i.e. some (typically nighttime temperatures) are shifted upwards and some (typically daytime temperatures) are shifted downwards. It all balances out and the average global temperature remains the same.
The science of the matter presented in layman's terms:
1) There is no matter in the known universe that can spontaneously increase in temperature without additional energy.
2) Energy can change form all day, all week, all year ... but no energy can simply be created out of nothing and no energy can ever be destroyed into nothing.
3) The radiance and temperature of any body of matter, e.g. earth, must always move in the same direction. If the temperature increases then the radiance increases. If you tell me that the radiance has decreased then you have told me that the temperature has decreased. Ergo, any claim that a decrease in earth's radiance (e.g. "energy is slowed from escaping into space," "energy is 'trapped' and prevented from escaping," etc..) is somehow accompanied by an increase in temperature is simply FALSE and is immediately dismissed.
Earth, being a planet, has substantial gravity which holds onto a substantial atmosphere (i.e. keeps it from drifting away into space). The earth's gravity pulls the atmosphere downward, compressing it against the earth's surface. This acts like a grill press at night, ice bucket during the day. The net effect is to compress both daytime and nighttime temperatures towards the plante's average temperature. The moon has no atmosphere to do that so the moon's daytime temperature exceeds 120C and the nighttime temperature drops below -180C. This represents a 300C temperature swing from daytime to nighttime.
The earth, on the other hand, has a cooling ice-bucket of an atmosphere keeping the daytime surface cool. You'll notice that our daytime oceans are not boiling away. In fact, instead of well exceeding their boiling point as they would on the moon, they remain cool to freezing cold. Death Valley's record high of 57C isn't anywhere close to the 120C encountered on the moon. This is the atmosphere chilling the earth like an ice bucket in quite an impressive fashion. On the nighttime side the atmosphere acts as a grill press; the atmosphere that was warmed during the day is pressed against the surface keeping it warmer in quite an impressive fashion. Chalk one up for earth's gravity.
Conclusion: The earth's atmosphere does not change/modify/regulate/control/moderate/engineer/govern the earth's average global temperature but instead "affects" certain temperatures, typically in the form of increased nighttime temperatures, decreased daytime temperatures and temperature shifts in the form of weather because the atmosphere is an integral part of the earth, i.e. part of the mass of the planet, and cannot be treated as something "separate." Earth's daytime and nighttime temperatures are simply "pressed" closer together, usually differing by less than 20C. Venus, having about ten times the atmosphere of earth and corresponding bone-crushing atmospheric pressure, has daytime and nighttime temperatures that are very, very close.
