I agree that global warming is a relatively short term problem in the grand scheme of all humanity's history, past and future, but that doesn't mean I'm going to gloss over the possible shorter term humanitarian consequences.

Yes but those consequences don't necessarily have to be all or a net detriment ... 

Even NASA is willing to admit that higher CO2 concentrations and temperatures than before benefits plant life so far shows this ... (climate change is and was never a doomsday scenario to begin with as we literally don't have enough reserves/deposits to create a runaway greenhouse gas effect, the most likely doomsday scenario was our sun progressing into a red giant but even that isn't for another billion or so years) 

I have never said that we would get a runaway greenhouse effect, that has never been the issue. And the issue hasn't been plants either - as you say, many plants thrive due to higher CO2 concentrations and temperatures. My biggest concern is the potential impact on people, states and the economy.
