If less energy is radiated into space because of greenhouse gases, the Earth's temperature must rise until the emission of infrared increases enough that the system returns to equilibrium.
It does seem at first glance that a warm troposphere would warm the stratosphere, but the explanation that more of the earth - sourced infrared radiation is absorbed lower in the the troposphere by higher levels of CO2 makes sense if one thinks about the thermodynamic losses involved in the CO2 re-radiation processes; some of the earth - sourced infrared is transformed into kinetic energy and only a fraction is reradiated as more infrared radiation (if I'm understanding correctly).
Climate changes act to restore the balance between the energy absorbed from the Sun and the infrared energy emitted into space.

These gases absorb infrared radiation emitted by Earth and release that energy into the atmosphere rather than allowing it to escape to space.
The excess gases in the atmosphere are believed to enhance the greenhouse effect by not only preventing infrared light from escaping into space, but also by absorbing more outgoing energy, leading to warmer surface temperatures.
