Jeremy Clarkson took a swipe at Good Morning Britain star Laura Tobin after she shared the “good news” about the recent catastrophic weather.
The former Top Gear star, who owns a 1,000-acre farm in the Cotswolds, hit out at GMB’s resident meteorologist after she discussed the surprising “benefits” of “record wind” across the UK.
The country was battered by high winds, rain and flooding throughout January, prompting the Met Office to give out red warnings.
However, Tobin recently took to X to celebrate the bright side of the storms, sharing an ITV weather report which showed that “record wind power” was produced in January.
“Some good news from the recent windy weather,” she captioned the post.
The report detailed how the UK's wind turbines generated a huge 10.6 terawatt-hours of electricity in January 2026, according to think-tank Ember.
It suggested that the unusually high amount of wind power delivered financial benefits to the energy system and British residents.
It read: “Record Wind Power. January wind power, more than any month on record, cut gas costs £164 million.”
Clarkson was unimpressed with the figures, however, clapping back: “So to solve global warming, it’s best if we all freeze. Excellent.”
A slew of fans agreed with him, with one writing: “Cut bills by (checks bill) nothing...”
“Who’s it cut the cost of gas for? Because it isn’t the end user, that’s for certain,” another added.
“Awesome. So our bills are going down, right? Definitely won't just lead to a larger profit margin for the energy cartel,” a third posted.
Clarkson has been open about the impact of the weather on the running of his Diddly Squat Farm in the past.
Last June, he said he was experiencing his “worst year ever” due to the extremely hot summer.
He said they have been struggling with a “shocking” harvest due to the heatwaves and drought sweeping across the UK.
"Last year, it was the second worst recorded ever, and we think this year is going to be even worse because it just hasn't rained,” he admitted.
There were further problems as his farm was locked down for at least two months due to a bovine tuberculosis outbreak among his herd of cattle.
He complained about the UK’s “broken future full of nothing about taxation, crime, and disease” in his Sunday Times column in September.
Clarkson cited the “flatlining” economy, “stagnant” housing market, and “useless” police as all good reasons to leave the country.
Despite the UK’s “doomed” state, he said it was better to stick out the current “awful” climate rather than upping sticks.
Clarkson said Australia, New Zealand and America were “obvious choices” as places he could move to - but claimed the “forms and requirements” to make that happen are “tiresome”.
He also dismissed other countries like Italy, France, Spain, Croatia, Portugal, and Switzerland, before landing on Dubai as a viable option - although he later complained it was tacky.
