The movies are created with data from GOES infrared 6.7 micron band.

Spectrally, the opacity of the atmospheric column ranges from a few tenths in the 10 micron window region to many thousands in the center of the 15 micron CO2 band.

CO2, in contrast, strongly absorbs wavelengths > 13 times longer than O2 does, as well as other bands around 2 - 3 and 4 - 5 microns, while water vapor absorbs strongly from around 5 - 8 microns.

The shape of the CO2 absorption band, in terms of CSD per unit CO2 concentration, can be approximated as having a peak at some frequency (designated ν0) or wavelength (about 15 microns for CO2) with, on each side of that peak, a halving of that optical thickness for each amount BW1 or BW2 that one moves away from the center (toward lower or higher frequency, respectively)

Thus, a very thin layer near the top of the stratosphere will essentially only be heated (absent solar heating) by radiation from below at the peak of the CO2 band near 15 microns.

(CO2 is saturated at the tropopause level in the central portion of it's dominant (for Earth) band (centered near 15 microns), but the optical thickness per unit CO2 declines away from the center in such a way that the width of the band exceeding a given optical thickness tends to widen by some amount with each doubling; it is this shifting of the «edges» of the band where adding more CO2 has an effect.)

(CO2 band is near the peak wavelength, water vapor bands significant in stratosphere for wavelengths longer than ~ 25 microns and between ~ 5.5 and 7 microns, and ozone between ~ 9.5 and 10 microns, and CH4 and N2O between ~ 7.5 and 8 microns — Hartmann p. 44 and 48, rough est. from graphs; signficant stratospheric transparency remains in several of those bands except near the peak of the CO2 band, but especially water vapor from 25 to 50 microns.)

So seen from outer space the earth radiation spectrum should be a small (10 % area) 288K thermal spectrum, overlaid with prominent GHG band spectra like CO2 15 micron peaks, and various water peaks, plus the Ozone 9.6 micron peak.

There are 16 thermal emissive bands (TEBs), covering wavelengths from 3.7 to 14.4 microns.

Thus water doesn't play any role in the 3 - 4 micron band and all energy absorbed there (as can be seen in the «total absorption and scattering» graph) is from CO2 alone and nothing else, whatever the water content of the atmosphere.

The gases in the bottles are being heated by conduction but CO2 is also absorbing significant IR in the 2.7 micron band directly from the radiant emissions from the lamp as glass transmits a significant proportion of the radiation at this wavelength and significant IR from the heated glass in the ~ 15 micron bandwidth.

The net effect on Earth Venus and Mars from CO2 as a gas is virtually identical demonstrating the limited effect from CO2 beacuse the 14.77 micron band gets so close to saturation by just 300ppmv with further increases like the 950,000 ppmv high pressure concentration on Venus having very little additional effect.

Nowhere from 9 to 13 microns do we see appreciable absorption bands of CO2.

I guess the ∆ T ~ ln C is an empirical formula from the fact that the 15 - micron O2 band is practically saturated at the peak, and hence the additional CO2 causes essentially slow band broadening, which is approximated by the ∆ T ~ ln C formula.

In Earth's atmosphere, there is a «window» between the 8 and 12 micron band where there is virtually no absorption going on, and through which IR radiation passes out from the surface to space virtually unimpeded.

If we take the total radiation from our 1 square metre to be 100 %, what percentage of that energy is radiated in the 15 micron band?

It is apparent from whatyou say that you are not familiar with «Wien's law of displacement» judging by your comment that the spectral band from 12 to 18 microns includes the peak emission of the Earth's emission spectrum.

On the other hand, the single CO vibrational band only absorbs IR at much shorter wavelengths (4.7 microns, or 2145 cm − 1), where the emission of radiant energy from Earth's surface is at least a factor of ten lower.

But I am pretty confident there will be detectable emissions in the.5 to 50 micron range from playing around with a.5 to 50 micron hand held detector many, many years ago, aiming it at the sky, the sun, etc and comparing the output to a detector using much narrower bands.

The AGW hypothesis states that a doubling of atmospheric CO2 will increase the global temperature by approximately 2.78 °C but the 14.77 micron band of the Earth's thermal radiative spectrum is already so close to satureation that no more than half a degree C of warming from a doubling of CO2 is even (remotely) physically possible.

CO2 at concentrations of just 300ppmv has a very strong effect on a narrow band of the Earth's thermal radiation centred on 14.77 microns taking over about 10 % of the Earth's greenhouse effect from clouds and water vapour.
