Jeremy Clarkson has branded Greta Thunberg a ‘spoilt brat’ after she spoke in front of the United Nations this last week to talk about climate change.

In the speech, she accused everyone in the room of ruining her childhood by forcing her to take on the responsibility of making change to our climate to save our planet but now The Grand Tour host has slammed the teenager and suggested she needed to think about everything that adults have done for her.

‘How dare you sail to America on a carbon fibre yacht that you didn’t build which cost £15million, that you didn’t earn, and which has a back-up diesel engine that you didn’t mention,’ he said in a column for The Sun.



‘Pause for a moment to consider how soundly you sleep at night, knowing that adults are building and servicing and flying Sweden’s fighter planes. To keep you safe. We gave you mobile phones and laptops and the internet. We created the social media you use every day and we run the banks that pay for it all,’ he added.


‘So how dare you stand there and lecture us, you spoilt brat.’

He acknowledged that although the planet is heating up and something needs to be done before we are all faced with an ‘unimaginable refugee crisis’, the 16-year-old should perhaps ‘get back to school as quickly as possible and work hard in your science lectures’.

‘Because science is what will solve the problem eventually. Not scowling and having screaming ab-dabs every five minutes. Many thousands of people who you had the temerity to blame this week are trying to do exactly what you want,’ he concluded.

‘So be a good girl, shut up and let them get on with it.’

It comes as scientists issued new dire warnings about the consequences of rising temperatures on the world’s oceans and cold regions.

Greta, who is in Canada to march against climate change as part of the second wave of global protests, told the rally: ‘He (Justin Trudeau) is of course obviously not doing enough, but this is just a huge problem, this is a system that is wrong.

‘My message to all the politicians is the same: “Just listen and act on the science”.’

She also took an apparent swipe at US President Donald Trump saying she didn’t ‘understand why grown-ups would choose to mock children and teenagers for just communicating and acting on the science when they could do something good instead’.

Her comments came as students in Italy symbolically torched a replica of planet Earth as tens of thousands took to the streets of Milan.

It was one of series of climate strikes inspired by the Swedish teen who addressed the UN summit in New York last week ahead of another day of protests where four million people took part globally.

More than 100,000 rallied in Rome with further fresh protests in India, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands, a week after millions rallied worldwide.
