In fact, as the atmosphere warms, the «atmospheric window» tends toward closing (particularly because of water vapor effects), and excess escape through this window can't account quantitatively for the reduction in stratospheric temperatures.

For example, increased well - mixed CO2 and water vapor decrease the rate of heat loss through back radiation.
