Clarkson wrote, "How dare you sail to America on a carbon fiber
yacht that you didn't build which cost £15million ($18million),
that you didn't earn, and which has a back-up diesel engine that
you didn't mention."
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."
"Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a
mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy
tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!" Thunberg had
said at the UN.
Clarkson wrote, "How dare you sail to America on a carbon fiber
yacht that you didn't build which cost £15million ($18million),
that you didn't earn, and which has a back-up diesel engine that
you didn’t mention."
The back-up diesel engine Clarkson mentions is an emergency
combustion engine on the Malizia II sailboat. This is in
accordance with the International Monohull Open Class
Association (IMOCA) Class Rule 2019 V.1.1, number C.6.1 (a), a
safety measure rule that states "a motor (engine) shall be
permanently installed, permanently attached to the boat and not
moved".
However, it was stated that the engine was not used at all
during Thunberg's trip across the Atlantic Ocean and would only
have been used in the case of an emergency situation.
In his column, Clarkson continues to take credit for the
achievements of his and previous generations, asking Thunberg,
"What about the pills you take when you have a headache? What
about the clean water that comes out of your tap? What about the
food you can buy at any time of the day and night?"
"What about the aid missions currently being run in some of the
poorest countries of the world, or the drugs that help keep Aids
at bay? Think about all the movies you’ve enjoyed. Movies made
by grown-ups. And all those comedians who’ve made you laugh," he
continued.
He also went on to call Thunberg a "spoiled brat" and though he
agreed that the "world is heating up" and implied that US
President Donald Trump "has something to do with it", he tells
her to get back to school and "work hard in your science
lectures. Because science is what will solve the problem
eventually".
In a press conference amidst the Montreal Climate Strike on
September 27, where Thunberg had said Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau was "not doing enough" to fight climate change,
she had also urged world leaders that "This is a system that is
wrong. My message to all the politicians around the world is the
same. Just listen and act on the current best available science".
On the same day, Clarkson's daughter, Emily Clarkson had
responded to a tweet by comedian John Bishop praising Thunberg
by tweeting "Wouldn’t it be nice if all middle-aged blokes could
talk to and about Greta, the ballsy af teenager out there
changing the world, like this".
