Periodic reminder CO2 is plant food, and fertilizes plants.
If you love humans, and planet Earth make more CO2, not less.

That is not how that works.
Ngl, I was prepared for this answer
Posting a kid song maybe explains why your point of «CO2 is plant food» is oversimplified. That is only a small part of the truth and misses the full picture of how our climate system works.
Charlatans hide behind complexity, confusion, and “trust the experts”.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt to simply explain your objection that;
1. CO2 is not plant food
2. CO2 is not plant fertilizer
I think the correct way to look at this is bottlenecks.
Does more CO2 actually help plants in a statistically detectable manner, or is there something else preventing it from going faster? (such as a hard limit on how much photosynthesis can happen, or not enough sunlight)
Unequivocally yes
Has it been proven under equal environments (excl. CO2 ppm) with different plant types and a somewhat large sample size?
My objection is about your conclusion, not the two points you mention.

Yeah, more plants too!!
I'll fart even more 🫡
Simple 🤷♂️
It is all a question of balance.
Is there higher probability for a thriving ecosystem when CO2 level is higher than today or is there higher probability with a lower level of CO2?
You take out one parameter of several and think to evaluate the impact only based on this. This is an obvious oversimplification fallacy.
Absolutely yes.
Refer to Cambrian explosion where explosion of life occurred with 10x co2 levels today.
You are actually comparing a time, when there was very little to no complex forms of live to today? It is like thinking, since an embryo does not have to breath, an adult does not have to breath neighter.
Circumstances matter.
I don’t want to be rude.
It’s just oversimplified af.
