A bestselling analysis by New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman that argues the convergence of global warming (hot), globalization (flat), and population growth (crowded) is reshaping the early 21st-century world and creating urgent environmental, economic, and political challenges. Friedman proposes that a comprehensive “green revolution”—focusing on clean energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable innovation—is the key to addressing climate change and renewing U.S. global leadership. Drawing on economics, geopolitics, and technological trends, the book outlines why national strategies must shift from outdated fossil-fuel dependence toward transformative renewable systems, linking environmental imperatives with opportunities for economic renewal and global cooperation.
