Hello,
I am wondering why global warming is explained with heat bouncing back instead of going to space (that’s what I remember from school). However if that is the case should it not block alot or sunrays too?
Edit:
Just a clarification I am not a global warming denier, I just want to understand better.

The suns rays (visible and UV) light pass through the atmosphere, strikes the Earth. The Earth absorbs that light, then remits it at a lower frequency (e.g. infrared). It is this lower frequency that is reflected by green house gasses in the atmosphere.
