Schoolgirl environmental activist Greta Thunberg has been described as suffering mental abuse by manipulative adults by Jeremy Corbyns brother.
Piers Corbyn, 72, is a climate change denier and adds that listening to Miss Thunberg, 16, was deranged describing her as an ignorant brainwashed child.
He tweeted a BBC News article about the teenagers visit to the UK telling MPs they need to listen to climate scientists.
He said: Listening to an ignorant brainwashed child is deranged. I am an actual scientist of physics Meteorology, astrophysics and climate and say @GretaThunberg is wrong and suffers mental abuse by manipulative adults.
Piers has previously claimed that climate change is a cover up to push up fuel prices and says global warming is a hoax.
He called Extinction Rebellion protesters on Waterloo Bridge deranged and staged a counter-protest with a banner calling carbon dioxide a gas of life.
Listening to an ignorant brainwashed child is deranged.

The Swedish Nobel Peace Prize nominee, who has sparked a wave of youth climate protests around the world, told MPs: We just want people to listen to the science.
She met Piers brother Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Liberal Democrat Sir Vince Cable, Green MP Caroline Lucas and the Westminster leaders of the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru, Ian Blackford and Liz Saville Roberts.
Miss Thunberg told them: We probably dont even have a future any more.
That future has been sold so that a small number of people can make unimaginable amounts of money.
It was stolen from us every time you said “the sky is the limit” and “you only live once”.
Miss Thunberg spoke alongside a panel of MPs, including Environment Secretary Michael Gove, Green MP Caroline Lucas, former Labour leader Ed Miliband and Lib Dem MP Layla Moran.
The schoolgirl said she knew politicians did not want to listen, as she started to experience microphone problems.
She asked: Is this microphone on? Can anybody hear me? Is my English OK? I am starting to wonder.
She added: The basic problem is the same everywhere and the basic problem is that nothing is being done.
You dont listen to the science because you are only interested in the answers that will allow you to carry on as if nothing has happened.

Environment Secretary Michael Gove assured Miss Thunberg she had been heard as he admitted we have not done nearly enough.
He said: Suddenly in the past few years it has become inescapable that we have to act.
