Maybe not. It gets colder as you go higher. The temperatures we enjoy at the surface here may be attributed to IR energy not being absorbed until it reaches something solid that can absorb it. After being absorbed in radiates back and imparts its energy to the motion of air molecules.

Just a thougt,
