ā€œGreen miraclesā€

Die Zeit

The grand government coalition in Germany failed to recognise that the economy was ā€œthe central actor of the new climate movement,ā€ writes German investor Jochen Wermuth in a guest article for German weekly Die Zeit. He calls for more divestment, a hold on subsidies that harm the climate, a tax on COā‚‚-emissions, a combustion motor ā€œscrapping premiumā€ and a German coal exit. ā€œA decarbonisation of the economy would not lead to a de-industrialisation – quite the opposite: It would set the basis for a green Wirtschaftswunder [economic miracle],ā€ writes Wermuth.
