Hot, Flat, and Crowded

In Thomas Friedman’s Hot. Flat, and Crowded, the Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times journalist, argues that our planet has become Hot, flat and crowded. The temperature rise from global warming, the flattening from the internet and globalization era, and the rise in population are creating economical and ecological problems for our Earth. The connections that Friedman makes are mind blowing. For example, how rising oil prices cause us to finance both sides of the on Terror and how changing just a few items in WalMart saves this country billions of dollars. Friedman discusses how the solution to global warming will greatly benefit our economy. This proposed Gr War een Revolution would create green technologies and alternative energy and would also generate billions in revenue that would help our country out of its financal woes. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who cares about the future of this planet, of this country, of their children, of their children’s children, or of themselves. Thomas Friedman’s Hot. Flat, and Crowded does a great job of presenting evidence and his presenting solutions to this global problem.
