Car pooling means that many people share one care to make a common journey rather then each of them taking their own car. Thus as only one car is being used rather than several only one amount of greenhouse CO2 is being produced rather then several and this means less greenhouse effect is produced.

How is the inside of a car on a sunny day related to the greenhouse effect?

Heat gets transferred from the window of the car into it. There is so much heat coming in that there is no way the car can keep up with the heat coming in. Trapping the heat. Same thing happens with the green house effect.A:The way a greenhouse works is that the transparent glass is transparent to the wavelengths of the sunlight coming through it, but is not very transparent to the wavelengths of energy trying to radiate back through it. Since we do not see in those wavelengths, the glass looks transparent to us. That is true of a greenhouse where plants are being grown as well as a car with its glass windows. The sunlight coming through the windows pours through easily, but the hot interior of the car radiates the energy back out at a different wavelength where the glass is not transparent. Similarly the greenhouse effect keeps the sun's heat in our atmosphere, preventing it radiating out into space.

How is heat trapped in a car similar to the greenhouse effect and global warming?

For the greenhouse effect: Solar energy enters the car through the window and is absorbed by the seats and dashboard of the car. The energy is then re-emitted as thermal energy (infrared waves) but is trapped by the glass of the window. The process is very similar to how water vapor and other "greenhouse gases" keep our planet warm enough for abundant life.
