"Mad and dangerous": Greta Thunberg cops another round from Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson has made his feelings known about teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg again as he now believes she is “dangerous”.
He was speaking to Seven’s Sunrise Europe bureau chief Hugh Whitfeld to promote his TV series The Grand Tour when he made the claims.
Initially, Clarkson spoke about the impacts of global warming in Southeast Asia and how it had changed his view.
“I don’t think I have ever actually seen the effect of global warming. When you see those houses on stilts in the show … and the water is miles away, that is a remarkable thing,” he said, according to news.com.au.
“And I know there will be a load of kids go, ‘Ha, you see. There you are’. Fine. Now go to school, learn science and do something about it.”
However, his views on Thunberg have not changed.
“She is mad and dangerous, and she is causing young children sleepless nights,” Clarkson said.
“I think she needs to go back to school and shut up.”
This isn’t the first time he has lashed out at Thunberg, as he said that she was a “spoilt brat” after her passionate speech at the United Nations.
“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,” Clarkson said in a column for The Sun.
“So how dare you stand there and lecture us, you spoilt brat.”
