Hot, flat, and crowded: Why we need a green revolution and how it can renew America

---

America has a problem and the world has a problem. America's problem is that it has lost its way in recent years-partly because of 9/11 and partly because of the bad habits that we have let build up over the last three decades, bad habits that have weakened our society's ability and willingness to take on big challenges.

The world also has a problem: It is getting hot, flat, and crowded. That is, global warming, the stunning rise of middle classes all over the world, and rapid population growth have converged in a way that could make our planet dangerously unstable.

The best way for America to solve its big problem the best way for America to get its "groove" back-is for us to take the lead in solving the world's big problem.

Americans intuit that we're on the wrong track and that we need a course correction. If we want things to stay as they are that is, if we want to maintain our technological, economic, and moral leadership and a habitable planet, rich with flora and fauna, leopards and lions, and human communities that can grow in a sustainable way-things will have to change around here, and fast.
