This may be the most important aspect of understanding how the large increase of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will increase the earth's temperature for the foreseeable future.
Also, up front I am also talking about how certain gases have particular non overlapping wavelengths of radiation emitted by the earth (blackbody radiation). So methane has wavelengths different from CO2, water and Nitrous Oxide.
Finally, getting people to understand what it means for a wavelength bandwidth to become saturated. Meaning that if the CO2 increased 10 times (just example) the amount of radiation blocked will not be 10 times more, but would already have just about reached the maximum possible.
Now this is a pretty good website about this, but I still feel it is too jargony:
