". While on one hand you have global warming, on the other hand you also have more trees and food"

Maybe. Maybe not. When you change the heat balance, you change the weather patterns and likely the ocean currents. This may or may not lead to increased deserts. In addition, you shift the isotemp lines and change the crops that can be grown in particular areas. To give one example, in the Houston area tomato plants don't set fruit during the summer, night time temperatures are too high. It is a spring (growing them right now) and fall crop only. Wheat doesn't do well either, although I have been told that is more of a day length problem. Fruits are a challenge, usually the trees don't get the required chill hours, but the cold fronts kill the tropical types. And so on.
