COMMENT: 'The world may be getting hotter, Greta Thunberg… but having a meltdown isn't going to help' JeremyClarkson writes
WHEN a teenage girl has an angry, tearful strop, most parents just send them to their rooms until they’ve calmed down.got on to the stage at the UN this week and had a full-on adolescent meltdown, she was deafened by the applause.I’m sorry Ms Thunberg, but if you’re going to lay into my generation, you must accept it when I lay into you and yours“You have stolen my dreams and my childhood,” she sobbed.
Think about all the movies you’ve enjoyed. Movies made by grown-ups. And all those comedians who’ve made you laugh.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 mentionAnd then 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.
And banging your fists on the table won’t change a thing. You’ll learn that when you’ve got a few more years under your belt. Something needs to be done about that. So how’s this for an idea. Get back to school as quickly as possible and work hard in your science lectures.Not scowling and having screaming ab-dabs every five minutesMany thousands of people who you had the temerity to blame this week are trying to do exactly what you want.And no. You cannot stay out past ten. And you cannot go out in a skirt that short.
