It gets better:

C3 crops like rice and the other basic grains that feed the world, they benefit much more from higher atmospheric co2 levels than the c4 weeds they compete against.

AND higher co2 levels mean crops use less water.

So... with higher atmospheric co2 levels, crops grow stronger, faster, with higher yields and less herbicides and irrigation is needed.
