A warmer earth will be an agricultural improvement. The zones will shift, there will be winners and there will be losers - but, overall, climate change is expected to increase the worlds agricultural capacity, not decrease it.
Is it damage to the planet, or damage to people that concerns us? If we're concerned with shortening the ride for people, that's one thing. If we're concerned that a planet with more humans won't be as pretty, that's another.
There's no need to go vertical. There are 93 residents per square mile in the US. A square mile is 640 acres. Calling it an even one hundred residents, we could spread ourselves out one resident to six acres with 40 to spare. How many of you are living alone on six acres? This ignores many salient factors, granted, but it puts the idea of a crowded earth into perspective.
There is no shortage of food. There is no shortage of beauty. There is no shortage of space.
