Only fundamental change in energy production and useâ"a whole new system for powering our economy"âcan stave off disaster. Rising global population, accompanied by rising rates of resource and energy consumption as the developing world grows affluent, may overwhelm both the Earth and the marketplace.
Hot, Flat, and Crowded asserts that artificially triggered climate change is a deadly threat to society. The Common Era, Friedman tells us, should be supplanted by the Energy Climate Era the year is 1 ECE.
