May I suggest Meteorology 101 and 102. There are some excellent first year textbooks today, much better and more detailed than what I took in the 1970's.

Right at the beginning of the class we discuss incoming radiation from the Sun and a few classes later discuss what would happen to the planet without greenhouse gasses.

It's very,very simple atmospheric physics.

What drives weather and climate on planet Earth and as an extra what happens on the other planets, especially Venus.

Greenhouse gasses on steroids. Most of the incoming radiation is reflected off the cloud tops back to space.

CO2 is about 96% of the atmosphere.
