That's because actually it is

In many cases.

Radiators dont heat your house through radiation, but about 80% by
convections which is assisted conduction.

gases dont radiate much at room temperatures. The energy is the fourth
power of temperature.

This is sufficiently dumbed down as to pssibly be withing your grasp

As I have said time and agan, heat loss from the earths SURFACE is not
except in dry desests primarily radiation. It is via convection and
advection of water vapour and thereby to clouds, and clouds do the final
radiation into space. No one disputes this, but cO2 fanatics ignore it
and hand wave it away. Because its impossibly hard to model.

And because clouds sit high up in the atmoshere, what the compositiion
of the atmoshere underneath is, is totally irrelevant to their activity
in radiating heat away.

IPCC climate models are based on O level physics, at best. They simply
'paraemeterise' all the important detail and hand wave it away, just as
you do. But you cant do that and get an accurate preduction.

Which is why they never have.
