Her speech didn't seem genuine to me at all. It looked rehearse and the content was banal. We need to work on climate change and we need to be more mindful about the environment. But this is like someone said down below, "emotional politics".

This is a nice take, I personally disagree with her particular rhetoric but agree with the objective of making sure they cannot ignore you.
