NY Times on the "Great Disruption" Ahead
Friday, June 17, 2011 at 03:51PM In an interview with Paul Gilding, the veteran Australian environmentalist-entrepreneur, in the New York Times, Thomas L Friedman says:
You really do have to wonder whether a few years from now we’ll look back at the first decade of the 21st century — when food prices spiked, energy prices soared, world population surged, tornados plowed through cities, floods and droughts set records, populations were displaced and governments were threatened by the confluence of it all — and ask ourselves: What were we thinking? How did we not panic when the evidence was so obvious that we’d crossed some growth/climate/natural resource/population redlines all at once?
Paul Gilding, the veteran Australian environmentalist-entrepreneur, has published a new book called “The Great Disruption: Why the Climate Crisis Will Bring On the End of Shopping and the Birth of a New World. To link to the interview click here.
