1. The presentation is about the synopsis of the book ‘Hot, Flat and Crowded’, written by
Thomas L. Friedman. The overview of the presentation is given below.
With the increasing population and improving technology, the world is getting crowded and
flatter. The world is also getting hotter because of the increasing human activity. The human
activity and the need for more and more energy result in :
1.Growing demand for energy supplies and natural resources
2.Massive transfer of wealth to oil rich nations
3.Disruptive climate change
4.Energy poverty
5.Loss of biodiversity.
A ‘Code-Green’ Action is proposed, which is a series of interesting propositions and
scientific solutions, to generate clean, cheap and abundant energy.
