So basically, in a high CO2 environement, plants grow faster and bigger, but they are less dense. Like biology 101. This kind of pseudo-sciense, it’s the reasons we have so many climate skeptics. This article also forgets to mention the reverse apply to animals too. High O2 means taller animals but less density in bones and muscles.

That's not entirely true, and it's not as simple as you surmise. The article says that this effect is not seen in some plants, like maize. It also mentions a case where protein, iron and zinc are lower, but Vitamin E is higher. Calling this pseudoscience and biology 101 is a very poor choice of words and shows a poorer understanding of the contents of the article.
