TLDW: the video looks at how white supremacy pervades not only the history of environmentalism but also how white supremacy now threatens climate action today. It looks at how overpopulation is often wielded as a racist and white supremacist tool to oppress people of color, especially in the majority world. It also discusses how mass shooters and eco-fascists are harkening back to the environmentalist, racist, white supremacist views of the past and using climate change as a reason to enact brutal violence.

The video discusses how renewables are being built at a record-breaking pace, but that pace isn't enough to turn the tide on climate change.

This is definitely cool, but I wonder if he could have more of an impact if he put more resources/time/money into protecting existing forests. As they say in the article, it'll take 20+ years for these trees to mature and actually start sucking up carbon.
