I was merely quibbling with your emphasis in (72), responding to ziff's query about "… three narrow bands of frequencies …" with "… they're full of it …" and citing jillions of frequencies that, at first glance, would lead one to think it almost a continuous spectrum of absorption.

To try and figure out the question, I went and looked up information about the absorption spectrum of CO2, from which I posted the link (s) to the further information. ziff's post refers to bands, but cites 3 specific wavelengths, and a band would be a range of wavelengths, not a specific one.

Hank (119), the direct quote from ziff's post is, "… carbon dioxide absorbs infrared radiation (IR) in only three narrow bands of frequencies …" (emphasis mine).
