Friedman, Lovins wow crowd at Aspen AREDay | PostIndependent.com
Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman is “bummed out” over America's lack of progress taking on climate change.

“I believe when we look back at the years 2008 and 2009, what historians will ultimately say was it was a moment when both the market and Mother Nature hit the wall,” he said. “It was a moment when both the market and Mother Nature said, ‘Stop, hold on, this is your warning heart attack. You are growing in a way that is unsustainable. Turn back now.'”

I don't know what people are complaining about.

He doesn't have his own jet terminal (as far as I can see from the photograph) and he's obviously pretty average middle class.

Plus, there are no Humvees evident in the picture - so he's pretty eco-conscious, I would say.
