I like these pictures better. They say the same thing as yours, but they bring out the fact that H2O is the major contributor to the greenhouse effect by far, which yours does as well, but it's been obfuscated. See picture at bottom that shows that CO2 does not absorb in some spot untouched by H2O.
You do agree that we should be only considering the Earth's blackbody radiation portion of the spectrum, right?

Read the post and then the quote. Why does this guy want me to agree with the blackbody thing? It doesn't seem to apply to me, since it's just a first approximation and doesn't account for the atmosphere. Any sciencey types want to weigh in here and set me straight?
Here's what I replied.

[1] No obfuscation. At some wavelengths CO2 absorption is total where H20 is partial. Also, as already stated, H20 is not well mixed, whereas CO2 is.
[2] I will consider agreeing to your question if you agree to one of mine first. Would you agree that without those tiny amounts of other GHG's, the planet would be much colder?
