That, while interesting, isn't on point. The concern is with the emitted radiation going towards earth, thereby warming it. The fact that some may encounter another CO2 and not be re-absorbed is irrelevant to the AGW thesis.
That particular clip was for IanC who declared adamantly that it was "a basic concept of physics that molecules emit and absorb at the same wavelengths".
As to emitted radiation from the atmosphere going towards the earth; it isn't happening. Do describe, if you like, which law of physics you base the assumption that energy can travel in two directions simultaneously along the same EM vector. Which law predicts such a thing? Show me the math that supports such a claim.
Or at least be a grownup and acknowledge that the concepts are over your head and you believe it happens because someone you trust for purely political reasons told you that it is happening.
