Her comments come after the TV star wrote a blistering column in the Sun telling 16-year-old Thunberg to "be a good girl and shut up".
He wrote: "I'm sorry Ms Thunberg, but if you're going to lay into my generation, you must accept it when I lay into you and yours."
He went on to rant about how "grown-ups... gave you mobile phones and laptops and the internet. We created the social media you use every day and we run the banks that pay for it all. So how dare you stand there and lecture us, you spoilt brat".
"Many thousands of people who you had the temerity to blame this week are trying to do exactly what you want. So be a good girl, shut up and let them get on with it."
Now, people are flocking to Twitter to admonish Clarkson, calling it a case of the pot calling the kettle black, particularly given the reason Clarkson was fired from the BBC.
