How accurate is this depiction of the Pacific Battle?

The Pacific War or a specific battle? They do a decent job in my opinion and seem pretty accurate. I like how they cover the smaller details/battles. Interesting stuff about MacArthur's procrastination in the Philippines.

I noticed several mistakes in some of the figures they gave in the Pearl Harbor video, but overall I think they do a very good job, especially in the presentation, narration, and artwork.

Agreed they are enjoyable videos. Which figures do you mean btw?

The best thing about about that video was the part on climate change.

The Pacific War stuff was generalised historical narrative, replete with historical truisms and gneralisation errors. As soon as they announced the SNLF were the equivalent of the USMC, I turned it off.

I am sure, however, that it would be a good TLDR watch for the younger generation who have some nascent interest in the subject, but have never read a book. Hopefully it will develop their interest so that they do.
