MSP Fergus Ewing was from a generation that had not “come to terms with the reality of what the climate emergency requires of us all collectively".minister spoke to Scotland on Sunday about the frequent attacks on his party from the former SNP cabinet secretary.
Responding, Harvie, 50, had said: “He represents a generation that simply hasn’t moved on and come to terms with the reality of what the climate emergency requires of us all collectively.”The Greens co-leader’s comments were read as an attack on the older generation of Scots in general. She told the Herald: “It is wrong, of course, but such comments also fundamentally undermine older people’s participation in society, make them feel less valued and can lead to greater isolation and loneliness.”
, Harvie said: “Some of those comments have been taken out of context. It was quite clear from the interview I gave I was talking about Mr Ewing specifically, not any sweeping generalisations as some people have suggested."
