and in the approximation that other sources of optical thickness and the Planck function don't vary much over the width of the CO2 band so — or their combination of variations is such — that the baseline spectral flux for no CO2 as well as the value at any given optical thickness from CO2 is approximatly constant over wavlength — or else so that the baseline and other levels of spectral flux for a given additional optical thickness, or at least the differences among them, vary over the band is such that as the band widens, decreasing effect on one side is balanced by increasing effect on the other — but for now I'll just use the simplification of a constant baseline and additional optical thickness effect on spectral flux over the width of the band:

Rather, excess CO2 returns toward baseline at a multitude a different rates, with chemical equilibration in the ocean occurring over decades (depending on depth), ocean carbonate buffering through sediment dissolution requiring centuries to millennia, and eventual restoration of carbonate sediment levels by terrestrial weathering occurring over hundreds of thousands of years — a long «tail» that can account for as much as 20 to 40 percent of CO2 excess in the estimates described by David Archer et al in CO2 Atmospheric Lifetimes.
