I finished this book a couple of days ago, and I would have reported on it sooner, but I've been busy becoming a more responsible citizen. A quick inventory revealed that I still had a few incandescent bulbs around the house, which I've now changed out for energy-efficient CFLs. I've been pricing hy...more...

In one word, this book was very informative. Thomas Friedman knows what he is talking about when it comes to the Green Revolution. The problem I had with this book was Friedman repeats his ideas page after page. For example, he describes a great idea he calls the Laws of Petropolitics, which basical...more...

I’ve been reading books on climate change for years. Almost all of them deal with just the science behind climate change and how science can stop or reverse climate change. Thomas Friedman’s book looks at climate change from an economic point of view.
His thesis is that climate change...more...

Friedman explains global warming
On the whole, this book resembles a televangelist’s Sunday morning sermon. It is full of passion, action and emotion. The “preacher,” The New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman, exhorts a congregation of true believers with a rousing endorsemen...more...

Im ambivalent when it comes to this books approach to China. Its depiction of China's economic growth as a problem can be seen as inflammatory. Its makes it understandable that the developing countries would see the green movement as Western propaganda, aimed to circumvent their progress. Ironically...more...

Over all, a great book. I'm already hearing about things that are happening that were mentioned in this book.
Interesting: When he gave energy examples, Colorado played a major part.
Interesting: Here is someone who seriously pursues fixes and options in all directions and dis...more...

Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas L. Friedman
This book alternately scares the hell out of me and gives me hope for the possibilities in innovation and science that could one day stem the tide of carbon emissions that are hurting our planet and killing my friends the polar bears.

This is required reading for EVERYONE. I'm serious.
Friedman brilliantly and comprehensively lays out the case for (1) why our current carbon-intensive energy system is the biggest issue facing America and the planet--not just because of climate change, but also for dealing with populati...more...

I'm a big Tom Friedman fan and he didn't dissapoint with this book.
He tells a great story and instead of total doom and gloom about climate change, economic stagnation, and loss of American leadership in economic power he offers a clear path forward.
I totally agree with his p...more...

Oh my god, if I see another contrived 12-letter acronym or infuriating catchphrase being hammered home for the umpteenth time, I might do something terrible. It's as if Friedman is a too-patient schoolteacher trying to explain the alphabet to a bunch of english majors that he has mistaken for waywa...more...
