Measure earth temperature from the moon

Man, It's hot in here.

If the global warming argument is correct you would expect to see a reduction in earth's temperature as measured from a station positioned on the moon. This would seem to be a simple experiment for NASA.

Barry's Response - The moon, or some other vantage point such as our satellites, some of which are equipped with the correct instruments and infrastructure. I don't quite get why a reduction; most would expect to see an increase in an experiment of this type.

Hi Barry
I suggested the moon over satellite images to give a global measure. I was a bit loose with the term "temperature", and meant the energy irradiated into space from the earth. Measurement of incident (Ii) and irradiated energy (Ir2) would give a measure of the greenhouse effect (gh). An incease in greenhouse gases might be expected to lead to a reduction in emmitted radiation (Ir2).

Ts=Fn(Ii-Ir2), where Ir2=Ir1(1-gh)

I am sure it has all been done?
