Seven points briefly describe the decisive role of carbon dioxide on the temperature of the earth's atmosphere

This graph shows the relationship between the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere and the amount of
vegetation under normal conditions. It shows that in normal years, the total
amount of vegetation on the Earth will increase or decrease strictly with the
increase or decrease of carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere.
Thomas uses the following seven points to summarize the two graphs.
1 Sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are essential for plant
growth and are in great demand.
2 The supply of sunlight, water, and oxygen is relatively sufficient
and stable. At the same time, the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere is
very scarce, so carbon dioxide has become a bottleneck restricting plant
growth.
3 As the carbon dioxide content increases, the vegetation on the Earth
will become thicker, and the vegetation area will expand.
4 Vegetation, like solar panels, can store solar energy in two ways.
One is photosynthetic energy storage; the other is physical energy storage; for
example, dense forests can store more solar energy than deserts. With the
development of vegetation, the temperature of the Earth will increase.
5 After the plants die, microorganisms decompose some carbon, and some
will be buried in the ground to be permanently solidified.
6 During the interglacial period, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
will gradually decrease due to solidification, so the vegetation will gradually
decline, which will lead to a decrease in the energy storage capacity of the
vegetation so that the Earth will enter the glacial period.
7 During the glacial period, the amount of carbon dioxide solidified
is less, and the carbon from the slow release of carbonate, volcanic eruption, space
supplement, or other ways will accumulate more and more. After reaching a
certain level, the Earth will regenerate due to the growth of vegetation into a
short interglacial period.
