less energy is escaping to space: carbon dioxide (co2) acts like a blanket; adding more co2 makes the 'blanket' thicker, and humans are adding more co2 all the time.

the increased radiative forcing due to increased co2 in the earth's atmosphere is based on the physical properties of co2 and the non-saturated absorption windows where co2 absorbs outgoing long-wave energy.
