" The molecule of carbon dioxide has strong absorption bonds, particularly in the infrared region of the spectrum at wavelengths of from 12 to 18 microns. 
This is the spectral region where most of the thermal energy radiating from earth to space is concentrated. By increasing the absorption of this radiation … 
carbon dioxide reduces the amount of heat energy lost by earth to outer space."
