The comment was 95% of people in the world rather than in Canada.
In Canada despite health care being “worse” life expectancy is still rising (data post Covid blip doesn’t seem available yet).
Climate change in of its self isn’t something that you can say is worse until the affects of climate change show up in things like access to clean water, life expectancy, poverty, food insecurity all things that are significantly better on the world wide scale than 10 years ago.
We have also prevented the worst outcomes of climate change. The worst outcomes like 6 degrees of warming appear of the table and back in the 90s they were possible. Solar power is following Moore’s law.
I think on metrics perhaps from precovid to now there were set backs
