Can't watch. I think if I'm honest I'm at 'disaster fatigue' level. I know all about climate change, doing some minor things personally but really, I live in a country that emits 1.8% of the world's GHG's. There's nearly nothing I can do in my lifetime that's going to make any appreciable difference when I am 1/44,000,000 of the population of such a tiny emitter. There are far more pressing issues (cost of living, inflation, taxes, looming strike at work) that fill my 'disaster' bucket these days, climate change is at the bottom.

This is the entire climate change problem in a nutshell. No individual person has a large enough personal impact to make much of a difference. The only people who might be able to meaningfully do anything are politicians, but they can't do anything because any significant change will require sacrifice (cost of living, taxes) from the populace at large.
As long as economic growth comes at the cost of nature, sadly nothing will change. The only way is to be content with less and less. A simpler life, less conveniences, less comfort.
