The only gas that reflects IR energy really well is water vapor, not CO2. Heck, even argon is much better as a supposed greenhouse gas than CO2 and there’s more than twice the amount of it in the atmosphere than CO2.

Wherever did you get the idea that Argon is a greenhouse gas? It isn’t — and neither is oxygen or nitrogen.

The only gas that reflects IR energy really well is water vapor, not CO2. Both CO2 and H2O absorb IR because of their asymmetric molecules. That's one reason why CO2 lasers produce infrared.
