That whole scene seems kind of gross. Whether those children are correct in their assessment or not, what such encounters call for is a bunch of fake words, as the kids are basically there as the mouthpiece of the adult in the room. A more skillful political handling would be to brush the children off by saying that she is doing everything and more.

Any "green deal" can only happen if a sufficient majority is on board, and Feinstein is not the blocker here, and neither is California the king of the nation. If those children want to engage in the politics of energy and ecology in an effective way, then they need to find a platform which addresses the entire nation, especially those demographics which are yet to be convinced of any green deal whatsoever.
