Except it really doesn't even seem like he's done that much. Really by what they've shown us, I'd say humanity's continued survival has been almost if not entirely its own doing. Ozpin hasn't shown a single sign of proactivity or urgency, even after the Fall of Beacon, which is unfathomably idiotic.

Either Ozpin is a failure as a leader, or RT are failures as writers, which there is considerable evidence towards.
