As the matter of fact the effect is just the opposite; the higher carbon dioxide level, higher the temperature...It's like that:
sun rays enter Earths' atmosphere, when they hit the surface of the planet, they create heath... The trouble is: carbon dioxide prevents heath from returning into space and that's what makes temperatures grow; the heat that sun rays are creating stays in the atmosphere due to carbon dioxide cover...

simple, global warming ,carbon dioxide does not allow heat to leave atmosphere and trap it.
