    CO2 is a linear molecule so despite of having to dipolar bonds they add up and exactly cancel each other rendering the molecule non-polar.

    Both H2O and CO2 have polar covalent bondings (O is more electronegative than H or C). The main molecular difference arises from their different geometry.
