What is your source for this please?

I'm wondering how the cosmic microwave background radiation would be booosted to infrared. That would require quite a lot of energy.
My source is fairly common knowledge. There are three broad classifications of light: visible, ultraviolet, and infrared. That which has too high a frequency to be seen is ultraviolet. That which has too low a frequency to be seen is infrared. Ain't no 'boosts' involved.
