But to begin, note the physical chemistry of tri-atomic atmopspheric molecules; pass optical bands and absorb / emit IR.

If one could see the IR light, an opaque atmosphere would make the pattern of emitted IR diffuse since only the IR from the upper levels of the atmosphere escape to space after it has been absorbed and re-emitted by the greenhouse gases (this of course depends on the wavelength of the IR and the absorption spectrum, but we can use this assumption for heat loss integrated over the whole IR spectrum).

All molecules emit IR, including those that do not absorb it.

Both can and will emit IR radiation when in in excited state, going down in temperature in the process.

under intense IR radiation CO2 will effective «fill up» and become saturated, unable to absorb any more until it has emitted some IR photons?

Even assuming that the visible reflectivity of the paint is 100 %, and the infrared emissivity is also 100 %, and ignoring that GHGs would trap some of the emitted IR, the maximum influence would be on the order of 0.14 % (7e11 / 5e14; I hope I did the math and counted the decimal places right) decrease in radiative forcing.

The important thing about CO2 and H2O molecules is that they can emit IR according to their temperature.

HIRS shows an increase in emitted IR of 0.2 W / m2 between the 1980's and 1990's.

To be a GHG it must not emit any IR like nitrogen.Which is why nitrogen is put into double glazing units not CO2.

The ambient atmospheric properties are important since if there is a lot of other stuff absorbing and emitting IR, then doubling CO2 will have less of an effect (i.e. doubling CO2 is most strongly felt at the surface in the Arctic, and at the top of the atmosphere in the tropics).

But N2 and O2 are mostly IR inert, they neither absorb nor emit IR (based upon the electrial nature of the molecule... symetrical).

Does CO2 also cool those same N2 / O2 gases by emitting IR at night, when there is no incoming IR from the Earth's surface?

At the same instant others will emit IR and decrease their vibrationnal energy.

The cavity will emit IR according to a black body law.

Also nitrogen N - N colliding with another molecule will be deformed and acquire a transient dipolar momentum which will allow it to absorb and emit IR.

When CO2 is present high in the atmosphere, it helps emit IR, so causing cooling of the atmosphere acting as a vector by which other gases can lose heat into space.

Also if the earth is at say 300 K and is emitting IR at 10 mirco and CO2 absorbs at 200 K at 15 micro just how much of the earths IR emissions can be absorbed?

While O = C =O has no permanent dipolar momentum, it has vibrational modes where an asymmetry appears and it is those modes that will absorb and emit IR.

This looks like heating to me, and, the temperature is controlled by the variance in the rate of absorbed and emitted IR photons for any small volume.

But more directly in response to your point, in caveat 2 Tom clearly states: ******************************************************************** You will sometimes read or hear that «the CO2 has not the time to emit IR because the relaxation time is much longer than the mean time between collisions.»

Not heresy, as nobody would argue that «greenhouse» gases don't absorb and emit IR and radiate to space.

Can radiative gases emit IR to the surface (land only) and slow it's cooling rate?

N2 and O2 are generally called non radiative gases in climate science, but they do absorb and emit IR.

Al is a very poor IR radiator (emissivity less than 0.1 typically), so whether the Al surface is hot or cold, most of the IR from it could well be REFLECTED IR from the water below, not EMITTED IR from the water block itself.

office and other modellers won't acknowledge the real cause of the UHI is that to do so, they would have to admit that the Earth does not emit IR as if it were an isolated black body in a vacuum, so the GHE is the reduction of its emissivity.

Jim D October 20, 2014 at 8:46 pm «dalyp, you are confusing net IR with emitted IR.
