Two factors increase convection. One is tiny changes in dry air density. The other is that the extinction distance of any heat wave-lengths C02 is tuned too happen even closer to any warmer radiating surface. A smaller volume of air now absorbs the same energy. that smaller volume is warmer and thus rises more quickly. Dry air mass has nothing to do with convection in the atmosphere. Neither does CO2! The atmosphere is not totally dry! The lapse rate and heating effects and percent of humidity of the air parcel are the major drivers of convection (vertical mixing) in the atmosphere. I have been teaching Aviation Meteorology for almost thirty years and you clearly do not understand the principals of how atmosphere really works.
