What happens to added energy absorbed by added CO2?
CO2 doesn't absorb energy, at least not any significant amount. Just in the way a blanket doesn't absorb energy, but it still keeps you warm.
What you're implying is that increased CO2 increases temperature in theory, in observation other things are happening that defy the models used to determine the predictions.
I'm stating that we actually measure the outward IR heat flux squeezing down in the CO2 absorption frequencies, just as AGW theory predicted. It's not theory, it's actual observation.
Refer to Occam's. AGW theory is the simplest theory that successfully explains all the observed data, hence it is most likely to be correct.
