mostly carbon dioxide, but there are also other harmful gasses that add to the greenhouse effect. like carborn and lead burned out of oils in 3rd world countries for example.

Climate is more the long-term overall weather patterns experienced in a region. including seasons and environmental changes.

Weather on the otherhand is just the conditions at hand and being experienced at the time, or within a day or week.

does that help a little?

    The main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Of these Water vapor is by far the most important. Water vapor holds in more than 5 times the amount of heat of all other green house gases combined. Despite what you may have been led to believe, carbon dioxide is not the most important greenhouse gas.

    The difference between weather and climate is that weather is the moment by moment conditions outside. (Is it raining or is it sunny? Is it hot or is it cold? Etc.) Climate is the long-term variations in conditions. (What is the annual average rainfall. What kind of conditions can you expect during the summer or winter? Etc.)
