I can think of one big positive of climate change. The end of the last ice age.
That would be 8,000 years ago.The Climatic Optimum.
Canada and Scandinavia were still experiencing 8-inches of tectonic rebound/year,as of 1976,as a consequence of the weight loss from the melted ice sheets.
The tectonic stress from the shifting weight distribution has some volcanologists fearing that explosive eruptions could be triggered,which accompanied ice sheet dynamics over the last 2-million years.
If it were to happen en mass,we'd go into an ice age from all the ash plumes.
