I agree with the study you reference. I do not agree with how you assess the content of the study you did not even read. " While rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the air can be beneficial for plants, it is also the chief culprit of climate change. The gas, which traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere, has been increasing since the industrial age due to the burning of oil, gas, coal and wood for energy and is continuing to reach concentrations not seen in at least 500,000 years. The impacts of climate change include global warming, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and sea ice as well as more severe weather events." " While our study did not address the connection between greening and carbon storage in plants, other studies have reported an increasing carbon sink on land since the 1980s, which is entirely consistent with the idea of a greening Earth" Look through this one and tell me more green can only mean better: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms13428" Elevated CO2 (eCO2) experiments provide critical information to quantify the effects of rising CO2 on vegetation1,2,3,4,5,6. Many eCO2 experiments suggest that nutrient limitations modulate the local magnitude of the eCO2 effect on plant biomass1,3,5, but the global extent of these limitations has not been empirically quantified, complicating projections of the capacity of plants to take up CO2" The impact of CO-2 fertilization is driven by Nitrogen. So that means (N) in ~65% of global vegetation and by phosphorus (P) in ~25% of global vegetation, with N- or P-limitation modulated by mycorrhizal association. So more plants, but how does that mean improved human survivability, especially since the information you referenced very specifically indicates less sustainable sea life and increased severe weather events?
