You could say it proves that our worry about the climate has led to improvements in our response to climate-related dangers. But it says nothing about our ability to respond to future, observably accelerating, climate dangers. It's an appeal to history. "We have improved our ability in the past, therefore we'll improve it in the future, and reduce climate dangers further" When actually you can't predict the future like that. What we're actually seeing is the potential for more 'points of no return' in terms of severity and impact of new climate dangers and more frequent climate dangers that could overwhelm our ability to respond and mitigate. It's like saying a band-aids are better designed than ever to someone who's about to be stabbed 100 times.
