Actually, no. The micro-organisms at the base of the ocean food chain are being altered by the increasing ocean acidity (thinner skeletons), coral reefs are disappearing - due to ocean acidity, warming ocean temperatures, storm damage and increased run off due, at least in part, to increasingly severe and frequent storms - and Arctic sea ice is still reducing at a rate towards the high end of the predictions.
