From the Huffington Post, Danny Shea writes about Tom Friedman's call for a Green Revolution.
The world is becoming hot and crowded due to global warming and population growth. Friedman argues that the growing middle classes around the globe will require a growing amount of energy and food, while biodiversity will vastly diminish.
Friedman says that humankind is entering a "Energy-Climate Era". In his new book "Hot, Flat, and Crowded," Friedman explores how a green revolution can impact humankind.
"Without a carbon tax, without a floor on gasoline or oil, you are never gonna have a market," he continued. "Without a market you will not have scale, without scale all you have is a green hobby." - Friedman
