What the MEASUREMENTS showed is the dramatic benefits of rising CO2 levels.
The Ciais quote that Ceist highlighted is unsupported political editorializing, and it's obviously wrong.

“Studies have shown that plants acclimatize, or adjust, to rising carbon dioxide concentration and the fertilization effect diminishes over time.”

(If it isn't obvious to you, look up "acclimatize" in a dictionary.)

NOTHING acclimatizes or adjusts to changed conditions by handling those changes worse than before. EVER!

That's true for natural adaptation & selection among wild plants, because the plants which best utilize the additional CO2 have a competitive advantage.

Agronomists & farmers are very adept at that.

Even so, I suspect that he was probably misquoted, because it's hard to believe any PhD scientist, in any field, could be that ignorant of basic, high school level, evolutionary biology.

Targets of 1200 to 1500 ppmv are typical, chosen to balance the benefits of higher levels with the fuel costs for generating the extra CO2.
