Light enters the atmosphere and strikes the Earth, turning into heat, which would escape into space but for something stopping it.

The first effect of the greenhouse effect is that the temperature is warm enough on much of the surface of the Earth that we can survive.

I am a 28-year environmental scientist. The best I can easily describe it to you is that green youse gasses work to allow solar radiation through to warm the earth's surface, but cause what is called an inversion layer to keep that heat from radiating back out into space. The net affect is that the heat from the day, weeks, months before is held in and is added to each new day of insolation, with the net affect of slowly raising the net temperature of the atmosphere and the land surface.

Having said this, the earth's atmosphere is so dynamic, that this takes hundreds of years to do. We're about 120 years off from a genuine global warming event according to most accounts.
