Thunberg’s style is her best asset. She keeps making a simple point, without trying to complexify it. When people try to complexify it, she brings them back to the simple point:

this is a major problem
it will lead to death and destruction if not addressed
we have a tendency to ignore it that needs to be counteracted

She uses the simplest possible language and stays on point. Which for some odd reason nobody else seems to be capable of.

Some will say she’s just a “cheerleader” but that’s kind of what we need if we’re going to address this. Political will is the constraining factor in our climate change response.
