Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terrestrial radiation is the heat energy emitted by the Earth's surface and atmosphere towards space. If more terrestrial radiation were able to leave Earth's atmosphere than at present, it would indicate a decrease in the amount of greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere. This decrease in greenhouse gases would lead to the cooling of the Earth's surface, thus resulting in global cooling.
