CO2 absorbs infrared radiation. As long as you don't dispute that CO2 absorbs infrared radiation the physics are inescapable.

And then the CO2 releases an IR photon. Net Zero. Plants absorb IR radiation as well.

Are you saying CO2 fluoresces in infrared? I'm interested to see some reference material on that.

"If an IR photon is absorbed by a CO2 molecule, it is almost certainly exciting a vibrational mode. The molecule then drops back to a ground (vibrational) state by emitting one or more IR photons ..." Since the direction is random, many go back into space.
