Just like water vapour, the carbon dioxide is also a powerful absorber of the heat radiation(terrestial radiation) emitted by the earth's surface.So, it traps the heat in the lower layer laers of the atmospher and does not allow the earth's surface to cool rapidly.That is why it is considered as one of the greenhouse gases.When there is a cloud cover,CO2 keeps the space between the cloud and the earth's surface warm and sultry.

Carbon dioxide is a much more dense gas than normal air or Ozone. As a result light and heat molecules are repelled by it. think of bouncing one of those small ruber balls through a sewer grate, most times the ball will be able to fit through the hole and escape. Now try to do bouce it through a window screen. the holes are much smaller and there is a much less chance the ball (heat or light) will be able to get through the screen (the CO2 molecules in the atmosphere).

I am in a folk band called "The Green House Effect", we have been around since the early 20th century. At one time at a show, there was one young little Ham-and-egger who was heckling us during our #1 single "You Heart Never Sounded So Fancy".
This little Ginger Snap (and not the good kind) decided it was a good idea to throw a dead crow on the stage. Now I don't know if this was reality, or the moonshine and opium talking. But I'll be a Vietcong's Bung-ho if that crow didn't get up and sing along with the band.
Our Drummer, "Two thumbs and-then-some" Grove McMc, Said to me "Damn I hope they never make a sequel to Major League!!" And his dying wish was never fulfilled.
I think that little kid was the government.....yeah the govenrment!

carbon dioxide makes the ozone layer thicker making it so less UV rays from the sun bounce off the earth than usual

It acts like a window in winter. It lets the sun rays in and then traps the heat inside the house.

The gases float into the air which then eat holes through the atmosphere.

i tink the greenhouse thing is what causes global warming right?..well basically carbon dioxide is heavy and sh*t..so its low down in the atmosphere..in simple terms it traps heat thus causing an increase in temperaures etc etc.. blablabla :)

Yes, however there are other gases that contribute more. And at normal levels it can help regulate the temperature.
