yes exactly, CO2 does not warm the air. Still waiting on observed data to change my mind anyway.Think about by you, Wuwei and Billy Bob over the last several days. The surface of the Earth, warmed primarily by visible light, radiates IR upward. Within a "handful of meters", it is all absorbed by CO2 and other greenhouse gases. The CO2 then loses that absorbed energy through collisions. Those collisions would be with "the air", which is then warmed.
Your assertion makes no sense. As I stated to you earlier, you have been saying in effect that "CO2 cannot warm the air because it is so rapidly warming the air."
