Angry viewers have lambasted Piers Morgan after he ridiculed teenage activist Greta Thunberg on Good Morning Britain yesterday (September 8).

Thunberg’s thunderous speech at the UN summit last month has been celebrated across the world as she demanded action from world leaders over climate change. But some people have been triggered by the 16-year-old vegan Swedish activist and reacted in a bizarre style.

After Donald Trump mocked her speech last week, TV broadcaster Pier Morgan was his usual anti-environmentalist self as he impersonated Greta’s speech while hosting the Good Morning Britain with co-host Susanna Reid.

The presenter also criticized climate change protest group Extinction Rebellion for its protests in London, before shifting his focus to target Greta.

He ranted: “How dare you, how dare you?

“You have stolen my morning; you have stolen my airtime. I have no life. How dare you?”
