10 ppm O3 absorb 98% of UV, so why wouldn't 10 ppm CO2 absorb 98% of whatever IR CO2 absorbs?

The ozone layer, our Earth's sunscreen, absorbs about 98 percent of this devastating UV light. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/ozone-layer/ The total mass of ozone in the atmosphere is about 3 billion metric tons. That may seem like a lot, but it is only 0.00006 percent of the atmosphere. The peak concentration of ozone occurs at an altitude of roughly 32 kilometers (20 miles) above the surface of the Earth. At that altitude, ozone concentration can be as high as 15 parts per million (0.0015 percent). https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/facts/SH.html |

Absorption of infrared light emitted from the surface does not warm the Earth. |
