It doesn't.

It traps atmosphere in small bubbles when it freezes. Air contains roughly 0.03% CO2 so it only collects very small amounts.

WATER, on the other hand, in our oceans does absorb CO2! The Ocean is the primary method we remove CO2 from the Atmosphere. That is why we see naturally higher CO2 levels when the temperature warms and why CO2 always follows temperature and never leads it.

Melting ice allows more surface area and allows us to absorb more CO2. That is a negative feedback loop often ignored by doomsday people that believe in the theory of man induced global warming.

Ice can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a process called air-sea exchange. When carbon dioxide dissolves in the surface water of the oceans, it reacts with water molecules to form carbonic acid. This process helps to regulate the Earth's carbon cycle and influences the overall balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

What are the chemicals in dry ice?

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). When dry ice is exposed to warmer temperatures, it sublimates directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This process releases carbon dioxide gas, which is what creates the characteristic "smoky" effect.
