What an idiot you seem to be. Do you have any formal education in the sciences? If so, what is it and have you asked them for a refund? The atmosphere serves as the MECHANISM by which the greenhouse takes effect. It first takes sunlight and converts it into IR radiation, then acts as an insulating layer to hold it in from escaping back out into space. The rest of your "fat cell diet theory" apparently went right over your head.
My fear is that you actually are a 'trained physicist '. That is a scary thought, especially if you are responsible for anything of importance.
While the atmosphere does reflect some sunlight and does absorb a small amount, the surface is where highly ordered high energy wavelength solar is converted into diffuse longwave radiation. A large increase of entropy even if the actual amount of energy going in and out are the same.
