It can pass through because it has higher energy on the way in. It naturally loses some energy in our atmosphere - too much to radiate through and out again. if gases can't hold heat how do you think a hot air balloon works? it doesn't hold it permanently but it does hold it for a while.
Theres also a giant fucking flame feeding into it constantly. But thats completely unrelated to the matter. Again i refer to the fact that our atmosphere only has .035% carbon diokide which when you figure that that amount is spread across the entire earth atmosphere its illogically to think that it can hold in any amount radiation from escaping. Ever see a co2 mirror? No and you never will because its utter bullshit. The ozone layer blocks radiation from both sides. The suns radiation is blocked as well as if we emitted some radiation up into space, the ozone layer would filter that too. Saying that weaker radiation can't go thru a gas is a load of crap. Either it goes thru both ways or is blocked both ways not just one way and then convienently kills off all life by making a death trap.
