Yes, in exactly the same way. It is the author's (and yours, I presume) thesis that since gasses do not create heat, they do not contribute in any way to the temperature of the Earth.
That is clearly a false conclusion.
To be clear, I do not believe that anthropogenic CO2 is causing catastrophic global warming. But I don't deny that gasses in our atmosphere do moderate our temperature swings between daytime and nighttime.
Okay, thank you for the clarification. We’re on the same page that various gases can act as insulators.
Note that a lot of the Global Warmunists believe that CO2 radiates heat all on its own. Despite no observable evidence that CO2 behaves like uranium they believe it anyway.
