Here is a visual representation of how much energy is captured and stored in the atmosphere. The CO2 notch would go all the way up to the top line if no CO2 was present. Instead, it radiates the amount associated with minus 60C. The missing area is the energy that has to find another way out.
LOL..
Ian,
This is a BAND PASS GRAPH! it does not tell us how much energy is emitted...It only tells us how the matter in our atmosphere emits or passes energy in the wavelength bands, thus BANDPASS.
