Contrails are water vapor and CO2, both of which alter temperature. If she wants to ban them, then by all means.
I am curious how she expects to control for lake and sea evaporation, but I’m interested in hearing her ideas.

Save, just save. $50 a month of you can. More if possible. Best time to start was 10 years ago. 2nd best time is now.
Don’t let yourself get stuck in the debt trap. There is no need to keep up with the Jones’s. Family and friends are by far so much better for your mental health than stuff.
There is no reason to get your burrito a chauffeur. Take life by the reigns and walk up and get it yourself. Even better, skip the premium and make one.
If you want to go to college, fantastic, do it. There are still plenty of schools without resort style athletics programs that are very affordable if you look. Community college the first two ear of matriculation is also an option. A lot of community colleges are now free.
If you live in the US, this country has perverted our sense of belonging so that the hustlers can squeeze you for every last almighty dollar. Don’t give in. Don’t let them win. Save some money, work on saving yourself.

The Curie point of Gadolinium is around room temperature. If you put a high powered magnet on one end and then generate some external heat and include a spring (or crank arm) on the magnetic end, you could produce a piston, similar to a sterling engine.
Now, if you add this cooling material as a heat sink, you could likely rapidly cool the gadolinium material back below the Curie point, making a more efficient engine, perhaps even producing something that could do a bit of work.
I made some prototypes back in the day, but the ferromagnetic material would always eventually get locked with the magnets. My rudimentary engineering skills could never get the external heat source quite right. Perhaps someone with a bit more ingenuity will take this and run with it.
Also, old broken microwaves are a great way to salvage some pretty strong magnets.
And be careful when handling gadolinium, it’s known to cause kidney and nerve damage.
