They sure are. It sounds like this video is examining these things in isolation instead of looking at the wider social effects that also help counter climate change. For example, if you build houses closer together, you’ll not only reduce heating and cooling costs, you’ll also reduce the monetary and carbon costs of infrastructure, you’ll improve the efficiency calculation of public transit, and you’ll make bikes more viable. One change with knock on effects that help three different sustainability areas. One change that literally costs negative money and also helps the environment. How did this not make the list??
Also shooting rich people dead only costs a hunting rifle and some bullets, and it prevents hundreds of private jet flights a year.
The video was analyzing the effects of the costs until 2050. Things like housing density increase slowly so might not be impacted substantially by 2050. Also most of the best solutions have a negative cost projected out to 2050, so no killing people isn’t a better solution.
Can you spoil the video for me please
The most cost-effective things that eliminate the most carbon are, according to the research done by Drawdown:
But I suspect electric bicycles are far better than Electric cars.

That and good rail transit everywhere
Probably “less vehicle miles traveled” aligns with your comment about bicycles
He summarizes the recommendations from the book drawdown.
Spoiler: Dying is the cheapest option.
Just make sure that if you decompose into any methane, that someone captures it and uses it as fuel.
