Will a remote control work through a drywall?

A TV remote? Probably not. TV remotes work via infra-red light. When you press a button, the command is sent to the TV through the infra-red light on the remote, which is picked up by an infra-red receiver on the front of the TV. Light cannot travel through walls. Infra-red extender systems are available to allow a remote in one room to operate equipment in another and can be purchased at AV dealers or on line. If you mean a remote for a racing car or something, then yes, because these work by radio waves, not infra-red light, which can pass through most walls, depending on the strength of the waves.

How green house gasese are the more or less problem than carbon dioxide?

Greenhouse gasses are called that because they are opaque to low frequency infra-red, but transparent to high frequency infra-red. Thus the sun's heat, which is high frequency infra-red, can penetrate to the earth's surface, which warms up and emits low frequency infra-red, which is trapped in the atmosphere. This makes the atmosphere act like a greenhouse by trapping heat. There are a number of such gasses, such as metahane and carbon-dioxide. This is a highly controversial subject since the leading "sceintist" studying the matter was caught fabricating data.
