By "hot, flat, and crowded," New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman means that the planet faces three converging problems: global warming, a worldwide middle class with an expanding appetite for consumption, and rapid population growth.
American tools, systems, energy sources, and ethics make this country uniquely qualified to solve these problems by implementing a "green revolution"—and saving the world in the process. By saving the world, Friedman concludes, America can also save itself from its debasement into post-9/11 fearfulness and instant gratification.
