satellite and surface measurements find less energy is escaping to space at co2 absorption wavelengths.

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.
