Here's a few links and references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect
Notice the quantitative graph of atmospheric transmission at the bottom of this page: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Library/RemoteSensing/remote_04.html And, what's wrong with the IPCC WG I? See Chapter 1, section 1.4.1 and the references given there: http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/Report/AR4WG1_Print_Ch01.pdf BTW, the CO2 band of interest is at about 15 micrometers. If you really want to get into it, look up Kunde, et al., J. Geophys Res., 79, 777-794, (1974). ---------------------------------------------------------------- On Jan 4, 8:32 pm, okc chemist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would expect more infrared to be absorbed by additional CO2, of > course, although there are some wavelengths that allow almost 100% > transmittance.
