The radiative forcing (RF) of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) is the leading contribution to climate change from anthropogenic activities. Calculating CO<sub>2</sub> RF requires detailed knowledge of spectral line parameters for thousands of infrared absorption lines. A reliable spectroscopic characterization of CO<sub>2</sub> forcing is critical to scientific and policy assessments of present climate and climate change. Our results show that CO<sub>2</sub> RF in a variety of atmospheres is rema ...[more]
