Wouldn't rerouting be more fuel-intensive in most scenarios, though? I feel like burning more fuel to make fewer clouds isn't the right play.

It would require a slight increase in fuel consumption, traded off with a large decrease in heating caused by the water vapour.

Seriously, you should watch the video, it covers all of this stuff.

According to him, the contrails have very potent effect on global warming. Apparently, contrails from just one year's flights has almost the same effect as all the CO2 emitted by all flights ever. Re-routing extends the flight by only so much, so the added CO2 emission has negligible effect.
