Yeah, that is the strategy advised by Berman. The argument if stated formally would go:
> Thunberg has <unfavorable characterization>
> Therefore, we can ignore climate change.
More typically, it would go (e.g.):
> <Environmental activist / celebrity> has taken a plane flight.
> Therefore, we should ignore scientific data about climate change. [1]
That is why the argument is never stated formally, of course.
