Two out of three aint bad. But CO2 is the same GHouse gas 24 hours a day as far as back radiation is concerned. Unless you simply meant theres more heat loss at night without solar driven convection.I love trick questions.. CO2 and its IR output at 14-16um does not penetrate the 0.1um of the surface of the ocean. it has no thermal value. Water vapor from the suns direct rays will carry off more heat than thermal IR can slow down. At night the heat loss is not retarded by CO2.No number.
Odd
Let's try again
How much will the oceans cool for each 10PPM reduction in CO2?
The answer is less than 0.05W/M^2 per cubic foot. (pretty close to zero)
