More greenhouse gases in the atmosphere impede the escape of thermal infrared radiation to space, and thereby raise temperature.

Also at the same time, the much higher daytime skin surface temperature (more than offsetting the somewhat colder night - time skin surface temperature which is often ameliorated by condensation and shallow fog layers) causes more infrared radiation to be emitted to space.

But a change of -1.7 % in (high level) clouds over 1 decade caused a change of 1.2 W / m2 in reflected SW and ~ 3 W / m2 more IR radiation to space over the 30N / S band.

Actually, though, most of the OLR originates from below the tropopause (can get up around 18 km in the tropics, generally lower)-- with a majority of solar radiation absorbed at the surface, a crude approximation can be made that the area emitting to space is less than 2 * (20/6371) * 100 % ~ = 0.628 % more than the area heated by the sun, so the OLR per unit area should be well within about 0.6 % of the value calculated without the Earth's curvature (I'm guessing it would actually be closer to if not less than 0.3 % different).

The higher sea surface temperatures in the tropics (~ 0.85 K / decade in recent decades) have lead to an increase in LW (infrared) radiation, and a loss to space of some 3 W / m2 all over the tropics (50 % of the surface), which more than halves the — theoretical — global influence (~ 2.4 W / m2) of all extra GHGs together since the start of the industrial revolution.

That means less radiation leaving the earth for outer space, So more energy stays in the earth atmosphere system making the surface warmer.

It is proposed by Realclimate that the extra down welling infrared radiation warms up that top single millimetre layer (they call it the ocean «skin») a tiny bit and apparently that is enough to disrupt the worldwide flow of heat energy from ocean to air to space with the result that the oceans release incoming solar energy more slowly so that heat builds up in the oceans.
