In the absence of an atmosphere, Earth’s surface temperature would be about –18°C, or 0°F, which is way too cold for life.

It re-emits most of that infrared energy in all directions, warming the atmosphere to its comfortable average temperature of 15°C (60°F). So the greenhouse effect is a good thing.
