The list feels like "this is everything you can try" rather than "this is everything you should try".
Some of these are "let's take an unrelated industry and try to cram climate into its story", others are ideas that are doomed to fail. And the "if only forests existed forever they would be a better carbon sink" argument is so flawed I am disappointed to see it at all.
But, also a lot of good projects to work on in there.
