The big difference between this scenario is that the radiation from the lamp AND the radiation from the glass originate in materials at significantly higher temperatures than the gases and hence heat IS transferring from HOT to COLD unlike the fanciful «
back radiative greenhouse effect» which truly defies the laws of Physics relying instead on pixie dust magic!

The first ideas about
radiative balance and the
greenhouse effect date
back to 1827, while predictions about climatic sensitivity due to carbon dioxide were made by 1896.
There are another couple of links between iv) therefore England was warmer
back then, and v) therefore increasing
greenhouse gases have no
radiative effect.
Quote: «The
greenhouse effect theory would have us believe that trace gases in the atmosphere can absorb enough of that immense surface
radiative flux to slow it down, which is nonsense, or to radiate enough
back to warm the surface to a temperature higher than it is warmed by solar energy.
The
greenhouse effect heats the earth because
greenhouse gases absorb outgoing
radiative energy and re-emit some of it
back towards earth.
I get upset when I see «The
greenhouse effect heats the earth because
greenhouse gases absorb outgoing
radiative energy and re-emit some of it
back towards earth.»
D Cotton June 15, 2013 at 6:38 am The whole of the pseudo physics of
greenhouse effects and assumed heating of the surface by
back radiation (or «
radiative forcing») is trying to utilise the Stefan - Boltzmann equation which only relates to bodies in a vacuum losing all their energy by radiation without any conduction or evaporative cooling.
And, there is plenty of empirical data at every level: There is empirical data on the basic absorption lines of the various atmospheric constituents, there is a wealth of empirical data
backing up the basic equations of
radiative transfer that are applied in calculating the
greenhouse effect in just the same way that engineers and scientists use these equations everyday in other calculations, there is empirical spectra looking both up from the surface of the earth and down from satellites.
The irony is that although he claims to have gotten rid of «
back radiation» by coming up with a different interpretation of the terms in the equation governing
radiative transfer between two bodies, he has in fact done nothing to change any numerical result using those equations... including all of the numerical results that support the existence of the
greenhouse effect!
The
greenhouse effect, by affecting the rate at which the earth emits radiation
back out into space for a given surface temperature, causes the earth's temperature to warm in order to maintain
radiative balance.
A real
greenhouse primarily restricts heat escape by preventing convection while the «
greenhouse effect» heats the Earth because «
greenhouse gases» (GHG) absorb outgoing
radiative energy and re-emit some of it
back towards Earth.
