May I suggest Meteorology 101 and 102. There are some excellent first year textbooks today, much better and more detailed than what I took in the 1970's. Right at the beginning of the class we discuss incoming radiation from the Sun and a few classes later discuss what would happen to the planet without greenhouse gasses. It's very,very simple atmospheric physics. What drives weather and climate on planet Earth and as an extra what happens on the other planets, especially Venus. Greenhouse gasses on steroids. Most of the incoming radiation is reflected off the cloud tops back to space. CO2 is about 96% of the atmosphere.

Have you ever used a thermos bottle? They use vacuums inside because vacuums don't transmit heat. White Dwarf stars have burned all their fuel. They still radiate light because they are hot and will remain that way for billions of years until they become Black Dwarf stars. There are no Black Dwarf stars because the universe is only 13 billion years old. If I remember correctly astrophysicists predict there won't be any Black Dwarfs for a TRILLION years. Heat from deserts does not radiate into space in measurable quantities at night. Hot air rises at night and is replaced by cool air when the ground is no longer heating the air. All surfer know this because offshore wind makes better waves. The air above the land heats faster, expands and so you have offshores usually in the morning hours when all the surfers go out. Duh.
