class=\"subheading\">Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby sparked outrage when he claimed that politicians who fail to act on climate change will allow an \u201cinfinitely greater\u201d genocide than the Holocaust and be judged \u201cin far stronger terms\u201d than those who appeased Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at COP26, the de facto leader of the Church of England and British lawmaker, as a member of the House of Lords,&nbsp;<a

that politicians who do not adopt the green agenda will be \u201ccursed\u201d and that future generations \u201cwill speak of them in far stronger terms than we speak today of the politicians of the \u201930s, of the politicians who ignored what was happening in Nazi Germany, because this will kill people all \u2019round the world for generations, and we will have no means of averting it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s very strong language,\u201d offered BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, noting that he was \u201csaying failure to act on climate change would be worse than people allowing genocide to happen\u201d \u2014 perhaps in an effort to allow him on an opportunity to row back the audacious claim.<\/p>\n<p>The woke clergyman merely doubled down, however, clarifying that climate change will \u201callow genocide on an infinitely greater scale\u201d than the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure there\u2019s grades of genocide but there\u2019s width of genocide, and this will be genocide indirectly by negligence, recklessness, that will in the end come back to us, or to our children and grandchildren,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote
