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?

At its simplest, the increased CO2 increases the greenhouse effect, raising overall temperatures and thus changing the climate.
This is bad for some plants, as the temperature and rainfall changes from what they need to something different.
It’s also bad for the animal life that most plants rely on. Many plants require certain insects/animals for pollination, seed dispersal etc. If the environmental changes affect the animals, they in turn effect the plants.
