Jeremy Clarkson brands Greta Thunberg a 'spoiled brat' and tells her to 'go back to school'
British broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson, best known for his 'Top Gear' series on BBC wrote a column for The Sun on Sunday, September 29, targeted towards climate change activist, Greta Thunberg.
Clarkson was responding to Thunberg's speech at the United Nations where she chastised world leaders on their lack of action to combat anthropogenic climate change.
In 2015, Clarkson was dismissed from 'Top Gear' over his reported fracas with one of the show's producers. He and the BBC were sued by the producer for racial discrimination and personal injury and settled the claims for £100,000.
Thunberg's speech at the UN gained a lot of traction, and the specific part of her speech that Clarkson mainly referred to in his column was this: "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying."
