How do we know more carbon dioxide isn't better for us?
On the whole, it probably would be. Eventually.
We are not killing the planet. We are not at risk of extinction.
The problem is almost 100% related to the melting of land based ice and the resulting rise in sea level and flooding of a significant percentage of the world's major cities.
It's going to cost a lot of money. Like collapsing societies amounts of money. Probably cheaper to adjust now rather than kick the can down the road. Or we could just not care about our descendents.
It might not be that bad. Maybe entire cities will just kind of slowly migrate to higher ground.

Even if we stopped burning all fossil fuels right now there would be very little difference in sea levels in 100 years compared to gradually changing to clean energy as we develop the technology.
And certainly it would be much more detrimental both financial cost and cost to human life if we forced abrupt change to how much energy we can produce. That’s just a ludicrous assessment that it would be more expensive to adapt to rising sea levels vs the cost of a drastic decrease in energy supply.
