Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution – and How It Can Renew America by Thomas L. Friedman
3.0
I have to admit, this was probably one of the more depressing books I've ever read. However, it had been on my to-read list for a long time, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to dive in.
Obviously it's hard to "rate" a non-fiction book on climate change. Overall, Friedman has excellent points, and the quality of research in this book is obvious, but I though the book could have been significantly shorter and still been able to get the point across.
The chapter about China and its international economic world power was fascinating, and this chapter could have been augmented to further his points.
Overall, I'm on board. Friedman is right- the time to act is now, and they're are things we can do to combat climate change even in the face of oppression.
The take-home message: best start tackling the global climate change issue now
