Why isn’t increased CO2-levels positive for nature?

The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing and have done so for many years. Shouldn’t this have a positive impact on plants etc.?

Maybe not nature including humans, but plants should thrive, right?

The speed that the CO2 levels are rising at the moment is faster than in history, except for extinction events like mass volcanic eruptions 100s of millions years go. Natural selection can not keep up with the change in environment so they die out. If it was increased over millions of years, it would be great for plants and phytoplankton. But we are doing in 200 years.
