Climate change activist Greta Thunberg issued a response to singer Meat Loaf after the Dallas rocker called her “brainwashed” in an interview this weekend.
“It’s not about Meatloaf,” tweeted the Swedish teenager. “It’s not about me. It’s not about what some people call me. It’s not about left or right.”
Meat Leaf, 72, claimed Thunberg, 17, had been “brainwashed into thinking that there is climate change, and there isn’t.”
She has traveled the planet over the past year to promote her beliefs and came in second place for 2019’s Nobel Peace Prize awards, losing to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
Thunberg’s father revealed that the teenager experienced depression and “didn’t eat for three months” before getting involved in the climate change movement.
“It’s all about scientific facts,” added Thunberg. “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.”
It’s not about Meatloaf.
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. https://t.co/UwyoSnLiK2— Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) January 6, 2020
