Its really impossible to predict very specifically where a break would occur from beneficial to harmful. A lot of it depends on the speed more than the amount, and also with the location and timing of the change, not just a global average of degrees.

Its not something that can be said to have any solid scientific answer. Even the part of the question specifically limited to climate science is hardly nailed down, and more importantly the issue is one of economics, politics, etc. In each of these areas even considered in isolation there are many uncertainties, combining the interactions of all of them greatly increases the uncertainty.
