I just pointed out how clueless your hero is wrt to greenhouses. Why do you think anything else he says is worth listening to? So let me ask you. What mechanism does an actual greenhouse use to stay warm? Do you think it works based on manipulating radiation balance, with conduction essentially near zero, just like the earth does in the vacuum of space (I'm talking about a greenhouse staying warmer, not colder than its environment). Or do you think your nitwit junk science king has a point claiming that greenhouses are not at all similar to the earth/space system? Please do show your considerable ignorance.

Here old dufus, from your own link: So, real greenhouses work mainly by modulating convection while the 'greenhouse effect' works by modulating radiation. BTW, that was the summary of an entire paragraph of confusion. But it is the summary. Now, muster all the intelligence you have at your disposal, and either agree or disagree with that summary. Hint: Its shit. But feel free to say you think it is good. Real greenhouses work almost entirely by modulating radiation, just like the earth in space, TO KEEP WARM. They do modulate convection to COOL DOWN. So, dufus, if you want to compare greenhouses cooling down with the earth warming up, as does your idiotic hero at junkscience, by all means be a fool. But don't expect anyone else to take you seriously.
