Professor Clive Hamilton public lecture and book launch at The Australian National University on 29 March, 2010. The lecture is introduced by Professor Will Steffen, Executive Director of the ANU Climate Change Institute.
Clive Hamiltons book, Requiem for a Species is about why we have ignored the climate change warnings. It is a book about the frailties of the human species: our strange obsessions, our hubris, and our penchant for avoiding the facts. It is the story of a battle within us between the forces that should have caused us to protect the earth, like our capacity to reason and our connection to nature, and our greed, materialism and alienation from nature, which, in the end, have won out.
And it is about the 21st century consequences of these failures, and what we can do now.
Clive Hamilton is Charles Sturt Professor of Public Ethics at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics. He is based at The Australian National University. For 14 years until early 2008 he was the Executive Director of The Australia Institute, Australias leading progressive think tank, which he founded in 1993. He has held a number of visiting academic positions, including at the University of Cambridge and Yale University and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts. He is the author of a number of best-selling books, including Growth Fetish, Affluenza (with Richard Denniss), Silencing Dissent (with Sarah Maddison) and The Freedom Paradox. His new book, Requiem for a Species: Why we resist the truth about climate change, has just been published by Allen & Unwin.
This launch is presented by the ANU Climate Change Institute and the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, a joint centre of the ANU, Charles Sturt University and the University of Melbourne.
Introduced by Professor Will Steffen, Executive Director of the ANU Climate Change Institute.

"Eva Herman, 48, said at a book launch that while there was ‘much that was very bad, for example Adolf Hitler,’ there were good things, ‘for example the high regard for the mother’ under the Nazis.
She later explained: "What I wanted to express was that values which also existed before the Third Reich, such as family, children and motherhood, which were supported in the Third Reich, were subsequently done away with."
its all in the link I didn’t have enough space to post it all at once
Unfortunately most people answering this will only look at what most people know the Nazi for. To accurately answer this everything they did has to be looked at. I already looked at some articles.
Construction of the Autobahn, low unemployment, low crime rate, strong sense of family values were examples of what people thought was good about the Nazi era.
Construction of the Autobahn. This is Germany’s network of highways. This goes to having good infrastructure.
Low unemployment. A lot of people having jobs and very few people not having jobs. This means the economy is strong.
low crime rate. This is something that is a lot of trouble for many countries including America and a lot of cities like Toronto.
strong sense of family values. What’s wrong with this? I don’t think anything is wrong with this.
I’ve just listed 5 examples of what 1 in 4 Germans thought was good about the Nazis. If Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper or American President George Bush did all of this, then they would made out to be good.
Essentially, what it comes down to is 1 in 4 Germans looked at the Nazis for what they really for and not just an anti-semitic party that everyone knows them for.
Does this justify for what they did to the jews, political enemies, homosexuals and countless other groups? No
