I'm no climate change denier, but there is a complexity to the effects which NASA has identified (and recently updated) https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/carbon-dioxide-fer... In particular the Sahel, famously arid and increasing in size a few decades ago, is now becoming more fertile again to the extent that people are moving back there.

So you're saying the climate is changing?

But seriously, the article you link to is directly stating rising CO2 levels as one of the causes as CO2 is good for plants.

The point is that a changing climate doesn't imply a specific policy must be adapted. The overall effect might even be positive.
The first half degree Celsius of human induced warming was quite probably a good thing on net. There's really no way that the fifth half degree will be anything but a catastrophe.
