Teen environmental activist Greta Thunberg has been dividing opinion since her famous speech at the UN Climate Action Summit. As a result of truly extreme retortions, she has filed a trademark to her name to block future misuse.

Thunberg made her voice heard again at a massive climate strike event in Bristol over the weekend, which amassed thousands of attendees. Needless to say, her words were once again bashed by internet users.

Taking justice into its own hands, the Bristol Post started publishing the full names and photos of grown men who were being crude, violent even, in their replies against the teen activist.

The newspaper noted that Thunberg gets ruthlessly flamed in comments sections each time a story about her is posted, and thus decided to disclose the identities of the men in an article, which you can read here.

Uncomfortable remarks featured by the paper include calls for the teenager to be “burnt at the stake,” and for her parents to “slap her with a brick.”

“Can someone grab her pigtails and Ms Trunchable [sic] her over the fence?” one internet user wrote.

Several of the comments come from parents and grandparents themselves.
