I forgot the first parts, sorry.   The cold parts they are taking about are from about 6km up to 10 km, really the top part of the troposphere.  This is why deep convection is so important in the global heat budget, since...

CO2 increases broadening because it is heavier and there is more momentum exchanged in CO2-CO2 collisions than in CO2-N2 (or CO2-O2) collisions.  The difference in mass is about 30%, hence the 30% increase in broadening.  See...
