CFCs
CFCs have at least 10 possible
vibrations!!
CFCs are much more efficient at trapping IR than
CO2.
This is due to the more
complicated SHAPE

Very little IR is absorbed from 8-12
micrometers!!
Reminder: This is 8,000-12,000 nm!!
This range is called the
“atmospheric window.”

Greenhouse gases lead to more
energy trapped in the atmosphere.
