    We’re trying to trap carbon underground to keep earth habitable and stable for humans. Coal is trapped carbon. We should keep it trapped instead of exposing it to our atmosphere.

    What a confusing video. Halfway through, he starts talking about some online shop and at the end, he plays some online game, neither of which seems to have anything to do with the topic...?

    The online shop thing is just usual YouTube sponsor stuff (though it's more self-promotion since he runs the store, it's some charity thing), and he sometimes plays Connections at the end of vlog videos like this.
