Nobody really asked for it, but Meat Loaf decided to share his thoughts on Greta Thunberg and climate change — and the teen climate activist responded in the classiest way possible.
ICYMI, the 72-year-old "Bat Out of Hell" singer told the Daily Mail on New Year's Day that he believed Thunberg had been "brainwashed into thinking that there is climate change and there isn't." Um, OK.
"She hasn't done anything wrong but she's been forced into thinking that what she is saying is true," he added.
On Monday, Thunberg tweeted a response to the comments, choosing to direct people's attention away from the singer's bizarre opinion to scientific facts.
"It's not about Meatloaf," she tweeted. "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."
Thunberg also quote-tweeted a visualisation from UK climate science website Carbon Brief which cited a UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report that asserts the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C temperature goal will "slip out of reach" unless the world starts decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.

Glad we can fix our attention on the scientific facts that truly matter.
