CO2 is till only a trace gas at 0.04% and plants are still CO2 limited. No, I'm Sorry. In reality they are more Nitrogen limited, and combined with drought en heat, plantlife really doesn't get to enjoy those extra portions of CO2. For example: https://www.scientificamerican... To Canadians and Russians, global warming is a good thing. It would be a good thing to Antarticans too if there were any.

Canadians and some Russians might enjoy a little warming, but when the permafrost melts, not all Russians will be happy. (Not even talking about the methane stores below that permafrost)

This. This is huge! Well, ... assuming it can be made to work, and at a larger scale, the possibilities to improve energy efficiency are intriguing. Of course, the military might have an interest here too: could it be used to cloak heat signatures? It sounds like a meta material to me.
