The percentages have nothing to do with the inherrent stupidity of you statement.
There is no delay effect with the atmospheric heating effect of the Earth by radiation. It all happens at the speed of light and is in equilibrium for all practical purposes.

Simply, equilibrium is when all things are evened out. Nothing is heating or cooling.

atmospheric heating effect of the Earth by radiation is a made up supposition and has not been observed. It's application in models predicts a missing fingerprint and global warming that is opposite current almost decade of observations.

At the speed of light through the speed of eons, the Earth is in chaos until, well currently 5 billions years is supposed to sun expansion.

Energy dispersal

The second law of thermodynamics is an axiom of thermodynamics concerning heat, entropy, and the direction in which thermodynamic processes can occur. For example, the second law implies that heat does not spontaneously flow from a cold material to a hot material, but it allows heat to flow from a hot material to a cold material. Roughly speaking, the second law says that in an isolated system, concentrated energy disperses over time, and consequently less concentrated energy is available to do useful work. Energy dispersal also means that differences in temperature, pressure, and density even out. Again roughly speaking, thermodynamic entropy is a measure of energy dispersal, and so the second law is closely connected with the concept of entropy.
