Rowan Williams: Climate change 'largest challenge ever'
Dr Williams, who held the senior Church of England post between 2002 and 2012, said some people were reluctant to acknowledge the climate crisis because it would require them to change their behaviour.
Dr Williams added:"So that's something I worry about a bit more, the idea that there are people who genuinely believe climate change is a huge confidence trick." Discussing this month's general election, Dr Williams said there were"myths" on both sides of the political spectrum. Whereas a"left wing myth" would be the idea that it is possible to"legislate justice into being" and make tragedy and misunderstanding impossible, Dr Williams said.
