Ex-Green Party leader Caroline Lucas has apologised for “what was not the best comparison” between those who deny the impact of climate change and Holocaust denial.
The MP for Brighton Pavillion told the JC that during an appearance on LBC radio on Wednesday she had “used the example of the Holocaust to make the point that, like climate change, it is a fact beyond dispute.”
She added that “giving air time to anyone that questions the existence of either cannot be justified in the name of balance. I apologise for what was not the best comparison.”
Discussing climate change with host Shelagh Fogarty, Ms Lucas, who has become an outspoken supporter of the People’s Vote campaign, was asked how do you tackle disinterest or refusal to accept climate change.
