An edX course from UChicagoX introducing climate modeling, covering how physical processes such as radiative absorption by greenhouse gases are represented in climate models.
One commenter, who took it a few years ago, calls it fantastic for digging deeper into how greenhouse gas absorption and related climate physics are handled.

Well the climate never becomes completely insensitive to further increases in CO2 concetration - lookup the band saturation effect. I wasn't citing a specific source, only pointing out that different gases absorb at different wavelengths, some of which (like methane) have potential to absorb much more with increasing concentration. IIRCC there are other factors, like the persistence time in the atmosphere, that make CO2 more worrysome.
I took this edx course on climate modeling a few years ago that was fantastic if you want to dig deeper and the professor does cover these topics (which I'm likely butchering) - https://courses.edx.org/courses/UChicagoX/PS280x/2015_T1/cou...
