Jeremy Clarkson Calls Out Greta Thunberg In Latest Column – “Spoilt Brat”
Jeremy Clarkson of The Grand Tour and previously Top Gear is no stranger to calling someone out on Twitter on in his column. He’s also no stranger to a bit of controversy resulting from his writing. But when the presenters called out 16-yer old Greta Thunberg a ‘spoit brat’, his account blew up.
Thunberg had just finished her speech in front of the United Nations where she scalded them for ruining her childhood with climate change.
‘I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,’ the Swedish girl remarked with tears in her eyes.
Clarkson has a different opinion, though, and believes that it isn’t in her best interest to be an activist at her age. He says how science will be what solves the problem ‘not scowling and having screaming ab-dabs every five minutes’.
‘So be a good girl, shut up and let them get on with it,’ Clarkson says. But Emily Clarkson, his daughter, was quickly making her side known on Twitter.
@JohnBishop100 @GretaThunberg Wouldn’t it be nice if she learned some manners.

She wasn’t afraid to bat back at her dad, either.

Do you support Greta Thunberg? Let us know what you think in the comments, but please keep things civil and polite. I know this can be a fiery subject for some.
She’s a paid actress and an member of an AntiFA family. She’s being used by adults to spread climate fear mongering.
Whether you like her or not, the simple fact is that she has gotten people talking about climate change, that in itself is a step forward!
Shes a 16 year old child, with no experince of the real world and obviously being used as a front for some others agendas, Jezza is right to call this out, however maybe he could have done a little more gently.
Love you Clarkson but the girl is right. The world should sit up and take notice. I love my old cars but I love this world more.
Through the support and advancement of new technology, there is no reason both shouldn’t be around to be enjoyed for decades.
She has no idea.
She’s complaining of climate change and yet still using a phone to post on Twitter. Hypocrisy at its best.
Phones are one of the biggest killers of climate change.
Well done Jeremy Clarkson
What do these spoilt brats think can happen. That we can stop everything at the drop of a hat.
Its being forced by the teachers and parents.
If you are so passionate about climate change, then have a long hard look at yourselves before commenting, as if you have a phone, car, new tv , any electronics then you are killing the environment
This is the man who was fired from the BBC for punching a producer because there wasn’t a hot meal for him one evening. He has no ground to stand on to call even a child a spoiled brat.
For most (not all) the negative responses about this young lady come from fear or jealousy; there’s almost no objective criticism about her; it’s fear and jealousy.
She’s done something very ambitious and remarkable. She deserves kudos.
She’s done nothing of the sort. She’s being used like a sock puppet. If you can’t see the theatre here you’re just as blind and histerical as those that literally think the world is going to end in 12 years.
He’s too right. Get back to school, her parents should be ashamed. This is just another paper doll we aren’t allowed to argue with. Stop this bullshit already, clearly you don’t have enough evidence to curtail freedom in the name of Euro trash science so this little girl is given a script to make us feel terrible. I’d have said worse than Jeremy and his own idiot daughter does not change the state of the facts.
Greta is a brat with no brain a puppet leftist spewing propaganda it’s disgusting her 15 mins are up
She is better to go back to her school. Please try to not bully her there because we don’t need more stupid nonsense speaches like stoling dreams or some environmental nonsense. Just leave her at the back of the class. Leave her alone and no bullies, please!
sorry jezza, you’ve gone off the rails on this one. your point of view is not funny, appropriate, or correct. if it was an attempt to get some cheap laughs you whiffed hard. if you actually have those sentiments you need to do some soul searching as wel as a bit of reading on the characteristics of leadership. chirping insults from behind your screen at a child is astonishingly asinine and pathetic. what Greta T has done with the past year of her life shodul be inspring to all us fools who are the ones responsibole for the damage her generation will need to live with. so drop the imbicilic anti scinece schtick and grow up. this is coming from a fan of yours for over a decade.
Clarkson for Prime Minister! Minority groups and militant activists are reaching their opinions down our throats. Politicians should be ashamed of how they behave, Vegans and Radical Environmentalists need to get real, whit not engage with the rest of us and bring forward practical solutions instead of throwing stones and puking hatred
It’s all a ploy the left has been using children for decades. If don’t believe me look up Severn Cullis-Suzuki the 12 year old from Vancouver in 92!!
I’m of the opinion that no one should give an obvious mentally defective 16yr old girl an audience no matter what nonsense is spewing out of her mouth. She’s not an adult, so her opinions matter not one iota, she needs to sit down and stfu already.
