From: The Environmentalist’s Dilemma
$2.50
This chapter details the author’s German heritage and Germany’s postwar journey of coming to terms with its sins; the point is to see what other nations might learn about dealing with their own buried crimes. Pondering the questions that will eventually be asked about our denial of climate action, the author rejects the analogies of war against climate change, suggesting instead a model of truth and reconciation of past actions before looking to the future.
