Legendary rock singer Meat Loaf has found himself in a war of words with famed teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg over the merits of climate change.
During a New Year’s Day interview with the Daily Mail, Meat Loaf, whose real name is Marvin Lee Aday, had some words for Thunberg, who has gotten under the skin of many conservatives, including President Trump.
He said, “She has been brainwashed into thinking that there is climate change and there isn’t. She hasn’t done anything wrong but she’s been forced into thinking that what she is saying is true.”
Unsurprisingly, Thunberg forcefully responded to this. In a Twitter post, Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019 wrote: “It’s not about Meat Loaf. It’s not about me. It’s not about what some people call me. It’s not about left or right. It’s all about scientific facts. And that we’re not aware of the situation. Unless we start to focus everything on this, our targets will soon be out of reach.”
Thunberg accompanied the tweet with recent scientific data demonstrating dramatic ongoing harm to the environment.
So far, Meat Loaf has not responded back.
However, the Swedish activist has received considerable criticism on social media as of late. So much so that she reportedly considered leaving social media entirely.
Even President Trump has attacked her on Twitter. After Time named her Person of the Year, the president wrote: “So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”
In response, Thunberg changed her Twitter bio to the following: “A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.”
Meat Loaf rose to fame in 1977 with his album Bat Out of Hell. In addition to music, he has acted in numerous films, including cult classics such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Fight Club.
I always trust a mentally-ill young girl who is a puppet for George Soros and other globalist whack jobs.
I know Meatloaf is mentally ill, but I’ve never heard him called a girl. I agree, he’s a total whackjob Trumper.
Yawn.
So Ted, is that the best you can do to defend a mentally ill autistc child who is brainwashed?? Sad
I was defending no person. I was defending the reality of climate change and it’s affect on the planet…which is obvious. Meatloaf, if you recall, suffered a stroke last year and has previous stated in interviews that he has been dealing with lifelong mental issues. (mic drop)
The reality of climate change which has been happening since time immemorial. The reality of climate change which, humans in their omnipotent power, are now solely the cause of.
I agree with Greta in that it is about scientific facts. The problem as I see it is that she doesn’t understand how science works in that there are no such things as “science facts”. Such language only comes from politicians such as Al Gore who will tell people that the “science is settled”. Science is never settled.
There is no piece of current science that shows a definitive link between human activity and climate change. Not one. Doesn’t mean that there isn’t one, but we’re talking about current science. That more than one computer climate model exists and that they have all spit out the wrong outcomes shows that scientists don’t yet know as much about climate as they claim to.
I’m completely open to researching and eventually uncovering whether there’s a link between human activity and climate change.. it’s a hypothesis. I’m not open to freaking out about someone’s hypothesis just because we need to be distracted from true crises such as the endless amount of radiation being dumped into the Pacific at Fukushima.
Book yourself a vacation to Australia.
Or just stay right where you are, because it is coming to you. Ignorance and king-worship won’t save you, bootlicker.
You poor sheep. Australien authorities arrested
hundreds in connection of the catastrophic bushfires.

I’m so happy that climate change doesn’t exist, says Australia right now.
Breaking news to climate-change nuts: the earth occasionally catches fire in dry areas.
And, let’s ignore the dozens of weirdos running around Australia setting fires. That’s an inconvenient truth, doncha know.
Good lord–talk about sheeples who consider junk science as gospel. THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING.
It appears that you need to do some reading on climate change. It isn’t just warming, but cooling and other extreme changes that affect environment and ecology.
Over 400 foot sea rise during the Younger Dryas = natural.
1.7 mm a year currently = mankind is killing itself.
Here’s something I know about “global warming”; its not as hot now as it was between 850 AD to 1250 AD. You know, when Greenland had forests and the Vikings were growing vineyards and grain crops.
Before the Medieval Warming Period there was a Roman one, and before that Minoan. Climate changes whether we throw money at the government or not.
It was ARSON you idiot, Read some real news.
Yes, by mother nature. every hear of the right conditions mixed with lightning? Go read an article on the reality behind this situation rather than spreading fake news.
Sam, so far 180 people have been arrested for starting the fires. Not one was charged with climate change. Moron.
They were arrested after the dry lightning strikes started the fires initially. Moron. Only read and report what you want people to believe and keep passing on.
Arts degree holders are a detriment to society.

So Greta… your polluter bucket list tour DOES NOT INCLUDE 4 of the Top 5 most polluting countries in the world! WHATS UP WITH THAT?
Top5 most polluting countries;
* China (30%) The world’s most populated country has an enormous export market, which has seen its industry grow to become a serious danger to the planet. …
GT DID: * United States (15%) The world’s biggest industrial and commercial power. …
* India (7%) …
* Russia (5%) …
* Japan (4%)
And by the way, Canada is 9th on the polluters country list, where Greta managed to scare the shit out of very young children with her visit and comments. And for your info how many of the cities on this list has GT graced her presence with? Check out the following for reference;

Meatloaf has the smarts. Greta has mental illness. Why would anyone pay attention to this stupid retard put forth by her abusive parents and her cynical handlers? She’s a cruelly-manipulated puppet.
Meatloaf may not be the smartest loaf on the shelf but he stands tall as a giant compared to the mental midget Greta.
Well said.
Yes, well said coming from two mentally unstable folks themselves.
You’re killing me. Mental midget? That’s the way to do it – beat up on a child who has an opinion and the passion to stand behind it and do something about the problems she sees are real and happening today. What a bunch of loser, cry babies posting here against climate change which is reality.
Let’s support Thanos in collecting all these damn infinity stones.
That’s probably the only chance for our planet to recover.
OK folks, According to the Reporter above I never replied.
Ok, to what?
What I said to the reporter for The Daily Mirror was this, I didn’t agree with the idea of sending out a child who is being used by BIG MONEY. What I didn’t agree with was the idea of sending out a 15 year old into a lions den. That is what I said, and what didn’t agree with . She wrote I didn’t agree with climate change. I never said those words, to that excuse for a reporter.
