1) how is carbon dioxide a green house gas and how does it contribute to climate change?

Carbon dioxide allows short wavelengths from the Sun to pass and blocks longer wavelengths from Earth from escaping into space.

How does it contribute to climate change? The first law of thermodynamics.

But CO2 does not drive warming, that's the Sun's job.

Top climate scientists say there is no man-made Global Warming.

it lets light pass through while preventing heat from escaping
