The real greenhouses do preserve warmth by trapping infrared radiation
A mistaken asserion "Of course, we now know that real greenhouses preserve warmth not by trapping infrared radiation but by physically obstructing the convective heat exchange between a greenhouse interior and the exterior environment. " - It is a mistaken assertion though. The real-time observations on the real greenhouses thermal behavior dynamic reveals the quite the opposite. The real greenhouses do preserve warmth by trapping infrared radiation. The glass or plastic covering do not let the infrared radiation out. The air in the real greenhouses is the same transparent to solar rays medium. The air doesn't get warmed by the solar EM energy. Air in greenhouses gets warmed from the contact with warmer surfaces. - Solar energy when hitting matter doesn't get absorbed (minus reflection) it doesn't get absorbed in its entirety. Only a small portion gets absorbed as heat. There is a strong immediate IR emission by-passing the phase of absorption as heat. - Earth's global temperature rise
