(2) Carbon dioxide can react with water to generate carbonic acid, which is acidic and can turn litmus test solution red. The text is: carbon dioxide+water → carbonic acid;
(3)① Developing solar energy, hydro energy, wind energy, geothermal energy and other energy sources can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and help to slow down the greenhouse effect; (2) Reducing the use of fossil fuels can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and help to slow down the greenhouse effect; (3) Planting trees and grass in large quantities and prohibiting deforestation can increase the absorption of carbon dioxide and help slow down the greenhouse effect, so choose: (1) ② ③.
So the answer is: (1) absorption;
(2) The purple litmus test solution turns red, and carbon dioxide+water → carbonic acid;
(3)①②③.
