I asked for proof, specifically for the allegation of "absorb". That is to say, not re-emitting the energy from the molecule. Is that too much to ask?

It is detrimental to your "religion" in any event. Also, the temperature of the atmosphere diminishes very quickly with increasing altitude. In thermodynamics it is clear that heat does not travel from a cooler body to a warmer one. This is mainly because of Stefan's Law. The energy of the radiation field increases as a square ot absolute temperature. With very many degrees diference in temperature, the radiation from the lower temperature body is of much less energy than the higher temperature body and will not affect it's temperature. There is only a very small portion of even the troposphere that is near the temperature of the surface of the earth. If CO2 were in any way capable of reducing the heat loss from the earth, it could be very well detected and must occur very close to the surface. The number of calories it must be producing to warm the air next to the ocean and therefore to affect the ocean's tenperature must be immense This is not even considering all the other factors such as convection. These Green house nuts just make stuff up as they go along. Notice they always refer to events whcih cannot be checked and verified with direct controlled experiments. Their claims to evidence are directed at those who have no education in physics, chemistry or even science.
