It would be a better question if there was some sort of links or references to the claims (from the IPCC) you are pointing at

The wiki [Greenhouse effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect) explains how this works. The [IPCC report](https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/WG1AR5_Chapter08_FINAL.pdf) has more detail. Too much to put in an Answer.
