Let me count the ways:
1. The study reported NO protein level decrease.
WG2 authors took that claim about a 6% protein level decrease from a DIFFERENT study, to mislead readers into thinking that the effects are an ambiguous mix of positive & negative.

So they hacked together a word-salad which conflated different studies, to confuse readers.

Mean yield increase was 38%, not the 25% WG2 claimed. Fitzgerald reported:
"…at two dryland sites… across three years with two cultivars, two sowing times and two irrigation treatments. Mean yield stimulation due to e[CO2] was 24% at Horsham and 53% at Walpeup…"

Come on, admit it: WG2's spin is very, very misleading!

Even if they hadn't lied about those things, spinning an 18% protein yield increase and 25% total yield increase as a 6% protein "level" decrease would still be shameless spin, designed to mislead readers into thinking that the effects are mixed (positive and negative).

Inserting that bit about a 6% protein "level" decrease was deliberately misleading — particularly so since elevated CO2 is ESPECIALLY beneficial for crops which ARE grown for protein.

So eCO2 helps mitigate protein shortages in poor countries. Here's a paper (ignored by WG2):

"…the increase in yield in the case of spinach being found to be 150 per cent, with potatoes 180 per cent, with lupines (a legume) 174 per cent, and with barley 100 per cent."
"174%" -- that's nearly the same as the potatoes they pictured.

The WG2 Report is peppered with repeated references to junk-science predictions of reduced yields, based on garbage models, and contrary to all field tests, greenhouse, FACE & OTC. Thousands of high-quality studies which actually TESTED crop responses are ignored by WG2.
