Significant moves in either direction could have a huge impact on human life. Like ok you may have had events in the past at very high levels of co2 that resulted in an increase of life on the planet, but going back to those levels may not be good for humanity specifically. Increasing global temperatures 5C+ or whatever the number is would be extremely risky for us. To me it seems desirable to limit the amount to what it has been when humanity has been healthiest.

There is exactly zero evidence to suggest that warmer climates or previously cold areas becoming warm has any effect other than less death. Cold is the absolute #1 environmental killer. And all of the warming we have seen so far is almost exclusively in the colder areas, which still have no clear and direct link to CO2 levels, despite the broad acceptance that there is a cause and effect, which conveniently takes huge breaks, or reverse for a little while.
Nothing over the last 100 years about more energy and warmer temperatures suggest anything at all except that fewer people die and there is more and greener environments. In fact environmental deaths have fallen faster than the value of the dollar.
The dollar inflation has only had it lose ~98% of its value, while environmental deaths have fallen by more than 99%.
Your belief is pure propaganda and extrapolation that doesn't align with reality. Environmental deaths have virtually done nothing but decline.
I’m not a climate scientist or an expert in that area at all so my opinion really doesn’t matter lol. But I’m assuming the decrease in deaths is highly attributable to improvements to infrastructure and widespread use of air conditioning.
That’s correct, the most important being people being able to heat their homes with electricity.
The high level reason is humans ability to adapt to a naturally dangerous climate.
This is possible in large part due to fossil fuels.
Cheap, abundant, reliable energy begets human flourishing.
The temperature is not even connected to the CO2 level.
