Thomas Friedman says the current green movement is no revolution, and that it will take strong American leadership -- and some pain -- to destabilize global climate change.

Friedman spoke recently at the "Biodiversity in a Rapidly Changing World," conference organized by the National Council for Science and the Environment.
