    In his latest book, Thomas Friedman talks about the need for a Green Revolution to deal with the consequences of global warming. What would be government’s role and how does it square with the massive resources now being asked to bail out the financial system? Friedman, the foreign affairs columnist for the New York Times, is a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner whose books include, The World is Flat 3.0: A History of the Twenty-First Century and his latest, Hot Flat and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution and How It Can Renew America.
