It's a good aim - unless it becomes an all embracing requirement at
unlimited expense which seems to be what's happening...

in a global food shortage, more CO2 may actually improve crop growth.

a 1C rise in temperatures would certainly do so, opening up vast swathes
of semi-tundra for agriculture on (often, but not always) extremely
fertile soils.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
