Climate change is no good, and we have to do better, but the past was even worse.

Try to imagine near 50% child mortality on a global scale in 1800.

That's the past. Today even the poorest regions in Africa have "only" ~15% child mortality.

The better things will not remain so for long. Many of the industry and technical progress came at a huge cost. It's the future generation who will bear it. Data conclusively indicates real-world climate change is tracking the IPCC's worst case scenario.
