We should plant more trees then
We don't even have to do that. More CO2 = More plant life. Too much plant life, CO2 drops, plants die, CO2 goes back up, plant life goes back up. It's a self-sustaining system. There's literally no need to do anything different, and if we did, it wouldn't change anything.
There is an upper limit of CO2 -> plant life. If there is too much, many plant species will suffer.
Different events do change things. You're wrong about that.
Many plant species will suffer? LOL tell me, have you been the equator? Do you see a dearth of plant life there? Plants need CO2, sunlight, warmth, soil, and water. If they have those, they grow. CO2 is spread pretty evenly across the planet. Where there is no plant life it's either too cold, too dry, or both. And that's determined by geography and their distance from the poles.
There's also a set amount of water on this planet. Heat it up all you want, all you'll get is more rain, and thus, more plant life in more places drinking up the CO2.
Get a grip. CO2 isn't a problem. And warmer temperatures would be a good thing for everybody, but since CO2 doesn't affect that, it's a non-issue either way. Our planet is what it is. It's distance from the sun is what it is, and our ability to affect an of it on a macro-scale is nill.
You said the CO2 is distributed evenly across the planet (it’s not, btw), so why would going to the equator change anything
Different plants require different conditions to thrive, hence why different areas have different plant life. There are many species of plants that do not survive as well with too much CO2
