The Archbishop of Canterbury has issued an apology after he warned world leaders that failure to agree on a climate change could cause a worse “genocide” than that what the Nazis committed. He has since said that such comparisons are “never right”.
“I unequivocally apologise for the words I used,” Justin Welby wrote on Twitter. “It’s never right to make comparisons with the atrocities brought by the Nazis, and I’m sorry for the offence caused to Jews by these words,” said the Church of England’s most senior bishop, whose own father was actually born Jewish.
I unequivocally apologise for the words I used when trying to emphasise the gravity of the situation facing us at COP26. It’s never right to make comparisons with the atrocities brought by the Nazis, and I’m sorry for the offence caused to Jews by these words. https://t.co/T0Be5rpnc1
