Fury as right-wing pundit calls teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg a 'weirdo'

In case you are not aware, climate change warrior and all-around millennial hero Greta Thunberg is in the UK and she is making waves.

Last week alone, the 16-year-old Nobel Peace Prize nominee, who travelled from her hometown in Sweden to London by train, graced the front cover of a magazine, got a Twitter shout-out from former president Barack Obama and spoke in British parliament. Talk about teenage role models.

This poor young woman increasingly looks and sounds like a cult member. The monotone voice. The look of apocalyptic dread in her eyes.

The explicit talk of the coming great ‘fire’ that will punish us for our eco-sins. There is something chilling and positively pre-modern about Ms Thunberg.

People quickly jumped to the teenager's defence, calling O'Neill out for his insensitive and disgusting attack.
