the effect of this disparity is that thermal radiation escaping to space comes mostly from the cold upper atmosphere, while the surface is maintained at a substantially warmer temperature.

although the temperature may be −60 °c (−76 °f; 210 k) at the tropopause, the top of the stratosphere is much warmer, and may be near 0 °c.
