Paul I used the word significant ... I am aware the sun emit IR but it does not emit in 10um (10000 nanometer) we are talking about with CO2 absorbing. On your graph above it ends at 2500 on the right so its 4 times that out of scale to the right.

Your comment was about the IR camera and experiment that camera is centred at 10um .. look at the link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography

Thermographic cameras usually detect radiation in the long-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9,000–14,000 nanometers or 9–14 µm)

So I am going to give you the sun emits IR ... but that has nothing to do with the video and experiment. You statement that the IR from the sun has a relationship to that video is WRONG, STUPID, DUMB, FOOLISH and any other term you care to add ... THE END.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
