(They don't absorb or emit IR.) So they aren't "greenhouse gases."

But they do have an effect, by changing absorption/emission spectra of other gases, via pressure broadening.

If you'd like to learn about the physics of so-called (misnamed) "greenhouse warming" by CO2 and other radiatively active gases, here're some good resources:

There's no persuasive evidence it's in the least bit harmful, but it's not zero.

It acts as a dye, which "colors" the atmosphere in the far IR. Even 0.004% would have a large effect.

The green notch is from CO2:

Where they go off the rails is with their baseless belief that rising CO2 levels are harmful. The scientific evidence is compelling that rising CO2 levels are beneficial, not harmful.
