• This is because the surface and layers of tropospheric air are, globally and over time, convectively coupled - pure radiative equilibrium would make the lower atmosphere convectively unstable; moist convection tends to maintain vertical temperature variation close to a 'moist adiabatic lapse rate' (with regional variations from that). —  RealClimate
