Carbon dioxide has four frequencies that absorb photons: one incoming infrared band at 2.8 microns, one non-polar band at 4.3 microns and two outgoing long-wave bands at 14.8 microns. Planck's law states that the energy of a wavelength is inversely proportional to its frequency, meaning that CO2 absorbs incoming photons with five times more energy than the outgoing photons it absorbs. Why is this cooling by CO2 overlooked by climate alarmists?
