UV is damaging to plants too... They use light in the visible spectrum on either side of green ... On the other hand, CO2 is really good for plants. They could do with a lot more. And warmer temperatures would be good too. But again within reason. Of course some in lowland areas won't appreciate getting swamped with salt water. The sun wasn't as bright when all that carbon was laid down. Though there is a hell of a lot more in limestone than in coal, oil, natural gas etc.

A moderate amount of global warming will be good for both us and the plants. Especially if we could find somewhere to put the excess sea water... But we don't want to see huge increases in temperature. So need to stop the warming at some point by stabilizing emissions at a new equilibrium level. IMO the excessive global warming problem will be solved fairly easily by mid-century without much economic disruption, just like the Ozone one was solved. Improved alternative technologie, higher energy efficiency and carbon sequestration will all be part of the solution.
