A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits
radiant energy within the thermal infrared range.
The intensity and distribution of
radiant energy within this range is governed by the temperature of the emitting surface.

PS when molecular collisions are frequent relative to photon emissions and absorptions (as is generally the case in most of the mass of the atmosphere), the
radiant heat absorbed by any population of molecules is transfered to the heat of the whole population
within some volume, and molecules that emit photons can then gain
energy from other molecules.
So after considering all of that, the estimated current «surface» temperature produces an estimated effective
radiant return
energy from the atmosphere of about 345Wm - 3 + / - 9 called DWLR which, had the average effective
radiant energy of the oceans been used, ~ 334Wm - 2 would have created less confusion and still have been
within a more realistic uncertainty range of + / - 17 Wm - 2.
The
