Or was changing all the lightbulbs just a "feel good" home activity, with very limited impact?

Beware the "quick fix".

I agree with your assessment that the short video was more of an advertisement than anything really informative.

However, I don't think anyone ever promised that we would solve global warming by changing our lightbulbs. It was just one small step we could all take immediately. Some people have done the math to make sure it made sense.

The truth of the matter is that we will have to make multiple changes in all sorts of areas to really combat global warming. And many informed people know quite well that we will have to spend a large portion of our remaining carbon budget in building up the infrastructure we will need going forward.

If you are interested in the math, I can recommend the book Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming:
