WRT “the greenhouse effect,” what is on the ground is irrelevant.
The greenhouse effect has been proven to be fiction. It violates the laws of physics. The atmosphere is a shield preventing the penetration of a huge percentage of the sun’s radiation.
The “greenhouse effect” does not comment on how much of the sun’s radiation reaches the earth. It is a function of how much is re-radiated back into space from the earth. Exactly the way a glass greenhouse works.
The “greenhouse effect” as a physical phenomenon is well confirmed. Whether the earth is presently in the first stages of an increased greenhouse effect and whether that effect is being caused by humans is an entirely different question.
