Because Green House Gases (Methane, CO2, H20 etc) trap heat and maintain the heat. So when the infared rays are emitted from the sun, instead of bouncing off the surface of the earth and out to space they are trapped in the molecules of the various GHGs heating the atmosphere and the earth's climate leading to any variety of eco-logical collapses.
