The whole issue is that any level above what is often called the «effective radiating level» (say, at ~ 255 K on Earth) should start to cool as atmospheric CO2 increases, since the layers above this height are being shielded more strongly from upwelling
radiation... except not quite, because convection distributes heating higher than this level, the stratosphere marks the point where convection gives
out and
there is high static stability.

radiation reaching the ground between 1961 and 1990.

Physics says the energy into a system must equal the energy
out once in balance, The heat in the oceans is what must be
there to produce enough heat
radiation out to space through the air / GHG blanket.
There would be little or no energy cycling between the mass bulk of the atmosphere and the surface so the surface need only be warm enough to provide the necessary
radiation out at the top of the atmosphere.
No publication discusses a greenhouse effect specifically at the poles, so don't bother me with links to all the «runaway greenhouse» garbage (which I've studied for thousands of hours) because
there's only 1W / m ^ 2 going in from the Sun, and so no more coming
out into the atmosphere, and so no more coming down again as back
radiation.
First,
there is a logical flaw, for which I do not know the Latin, where Lord Monckton makes a true statement (albeit simplified), that the Earth gets rid of excess heat through
radiation out to space, which implies a particular final outcome, but omits another relevant fact that changes that final outcome.
In 1928, George Simpson published a memoir on atmospheric

out in a comment,
there was evidence that even dry air absorbed infrared

Both measurements and models show that
there is no reduction in IR
radiation out at Top - of - atmosphere.

there is none.
It is a matter of established scientific fact that
there is more
radiation coming

Without them,
there would only be

This conveniently means
there is no distortion to the amount of outgoing

With increasing carbon dioxide and other heat - trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,
there is an imbalance in energy flows in and
out of the top - of - atmosphere: the greenhouse gases increasingly trap more
radiation and hence create warming.
So, make up your mind: is
there global warming, or is
there an exact equilibrium of in and
out radiation?
But this also means that the back
radiation has a longer free path as well and because the atmosphere will be higher
there is a risk of collisions for further
out.
Electrons jumping orbitals and producing
radiation don't know if
there is a warmer or colder body
out there somewhere, therefore the total instantaneous
radiation from any body is independent of the temperature of the surroundings.
