Which if you choose the glass correctly, you can duplicate very well in a greenhouse.

You don't seem to remember that you said a greenhouse works just like global warming. Now you say it works just like the earths atmosphere, which it does not. The earth does not have glass, I know of no glass that works that way, but if it did it would make the greenhouse worse not better, because it would make the glass hot and would be cooled by the cool air outside. If you had glass that is transparent to visible light but absorbed IR then the IR would not get to the floor and plants and would be cooler than a greenhouse without it.

Ignore the convective cooling of the glass to the outside air. That is yet another thing that is distracting you from any understanding. Assume the greenhouse is located on the moon. Can we than finally get a modicum of understanding into your brain?

I design air conditioning systems and components for large building commercial systems, I have done the heat gain calculations and I know exactly what I am talking about. You however revel in being ignorant.. I wouldn't mind if you admitted some lack of understanding, but you seem to think you know it all.
