Fading applause? --- I agree. The "blah, blah, blah" seems too much and even aggresive. I think you can even tell how the audience claps less and less with each "blah, blah, blah".

I think she, obviously, has a lot of ethos by now. You cannot simply have a climate international conference and not have her as a speaker. But I think that at this point, her pathos and even her logos may be becoming weaker.

I may be devil's advocate here, but I find her use of data and evidence just a series of numbers "burped" one after the other to simply point fingers. Of course there won't be probably a lot, but I am sure there are also positive things to say. And most importantly, it is always easier to say how not to do things than to propose actual alternatives. I did not listen to a single serious proposal on how to change things, either from authorities or society.
