Thousands of rigorous studies have measured the benefits, for all major crops. Here's a study of wheat:

Thus eCO2 is helping alleviate protein shortages in poor countries.

That's been known to science for over a century. Here's a 100yo @SciAm article:

That has contributed to almost completely banishing the "Third Horseman of the Apocalypse," Famine.

One horseman down. War & Pestilence to go.

The major harms are all hypothetical, and mostly implausible. The major benefits are proven, measured, and very large.
