Well if you're going to criticise my initial statement the way you did do you not see the hypocrisy? And yes I know that the distrubution of rain will change, but overall the climate will be wetter, so again your initial statement is wrong. Also we'll be able to grow more food, as food production further north will become far more productive, as the north is warming the most, leading to a larger proportion of land that's productive. And yes, but we've already seen crop yeild improve with the warming environment (granted there are other things that help.)

Are any of these claims of increased food production supported anywhere in the scientific literature?

Actualy yes and no  here's a great summary : https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11655-climate-myths-higher-co2-levels-will-boost-plant-growth-and-food-production/

In other words, it's not as simple as just saying "the warmer more CO2 rich environment lets us grow more food than ever before".
