Global warming might be good for us
Warmer climate and an increase in CO2 could be good for farming and agriculture. Less severe winters will also allow more crops to be grown.
The only issue I have with that statement is that if "global warming" (should be called climate change anyway cause not everything will get warmer) happens then we would have less of a winter, but a lot more severe weather events such as heavy rainfalls, large blizzards, tornados, hurricanes, etc. All of which have a tendency to do massive damage to crops so I think it would be a moot point that there is more CO2.
