Yet, I'm being told constantly that this colder atmosphere radiates energy which adds to the heat of the Earth and only needs a tiny tiny extra bit more of CO2 and the whole Earth's temperature will go up several degrees and this will lead to runaway global warming, because in this is a net exchange of energy which includes from the colder to the hotter.
