The right mix of heat, pressure, and chemistry keeps the coal from burning; instead, it undergoes a series of reactions that give rise to a mix of gases, including hydrogen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, and sulfur dioxide.
Almost immediately (nanoseconds) they relax from their excited state by either 1) emitting that energy as a new photon, some of which will continue up towards space, some of which will go back downward to be reabsorbed, thus keeping the energy in the atmosphere longer, or 2) by colliding with another gas molecule, most likely an O2 (oxygen) or N2 (nitrogen) molecule since they make up over 98 % of the atmosphere, thereby converting the extra vibrational energy into kinetic energy by transferring it to the other gas molecule, which will then collide with other molecules, and so on, making the air warmer.
In the atmosphere, a portion of the nitrogen winds up as nitrous oxide — laughing gas — which is not only a greenhouse gas that is 300 times more potent that carbon dioxide, but also destroys ozone, the gas that keeps us from getting more of a dose of UV radiation.
In the real greenhouse which is our whole fluid real gas atmosphere which has volume, weight and attraction and is subject to gravity, the some 99 % nitrogen and oxygen dry air is what acts as a blanket keeping the Earth's heat from escaping too fast before the Sun again heats the surface, without water the Earth's temperature would be 67 °C not 15 °C — think deserts.
The only thing I'm keeping from ideal gas is elastic collisions (which as I've given re actual properties of nitrogen and oxygen make our atmosphere approximate to his model).
The thermal blanket keeping the Earth warm is the whole atmosphere which is mainly the real gases with volume weight and attraction nitrogen and oxygen under gravity, without which temperature would be -18 °C.
Keep in mind that the price of nitrogen is tied directly to the price of natural gas, with 1 ton of fertilizer requiring about 33,500 cubic feet of natural gas.
As we know, hothouse gases, in particular, nitrogen peroxide, warm up the atmosphere by keeping heat close to the ground.
Holding in a fart keeps in gasses that your body doesn't want to absorb, like nitrogen, and the result - either farting anyway, or (super gross) it escaping through your mouth - could smell even worse.
