I wasn't sure how such a long video would go over, but it's all about the work of young climate activists, something we desperately need.

is supporting big government climate solutions. It's putting all your eggs in one basket then having a few key politicians (Manchin) step on them.

It's better to have solutions enacted on a more local distributed level. A collection of small solutions can add up to big changes. The real tools in the climate change fight will be things like conservation, efficiency and mitigation. Going for large-scale actions is setting yourself up for failure just about every time. People become frustrated and resigned to their fate. Better to have small scale actions with a higher chance of success that encourage folks to actually take action on their own without having to rely on politicians to do it for them. Politicians are easily corruptable.
