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.

Do the alveolar ducts absorb carbon dioxide?
No they absorb large amounts of oxygen into the blood.
Do plants' leaves absorb carbon dioxide?
Yes. Plants carry out photosynthesis which uses the energy of sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.
Where do trees get carbon dioxide?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis. They remove and store the carbon and release the oxygen back into the atmosphere. A forest of trees is thus called a carbon sink.
How are leaves adapted to absorb carbon-dioxide?
Leaves are adapted to absoring starch by having a layer at the bottom of the leaf called the stoma which is where carbon dioxide is absorbed and oxygen is released
How plants obsorb carbon dioxide?
Plants absorb CO2 for the creation of glucose in photosynthesis: 6 CO2 + 6 H20 = C6H12O6 + 6 O2 So if you put in six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules you get one glucose molecule and six oxygen molecules in return. Glucose is used by plants to respirate, like animals. Plants don't just absorb CO2, though, they also use it. Like other living creatures, when they respirate they turn Oxygen into Carbon Dioxide.
What substances absorb CARBON DIOXIDE?
Potassium Hydroxide can be used to absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
What is being reduced that can absorb carbon dioxide?
As more forest is being reduced that can absorb carbon dioxide.
Does carbon dioxide reflect sunlight?
Carbon dioxide absorb the sunlight.
What are the chemicals in dry ice?
Carbon dioxide. Dry ice is made of nothing but carbon dioxide.
When do plants absorb carbon?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
Does rain absorb carbon dioxide?
yes it does as the rain takes in the carbon dioxide
What get rids of carbon dioxide?
trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen
Where does the plant obtain carbon dioxide and water?
the roots of the plant absorb the water from the soil. the stomata in the leaves absorb carbon dioxide
How do plant absorb carbon dioxide?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide through pores on the leaves or other parts of the plant.
How do animal gives out carbon dioxide?
Yes we do, we absorb the oxygen and give out carbon dioxide
Is carbon dioxide water ice?
Solid Carbon Dioxide is known as 'dry ice'.
Which ice on Mars changes more actively today Carbon dioxide ice or water ice?
carbon dioxide ice
