Revision as of 02:34, 25 August 2009
Lawrence Solomon (born 1948 in Bucharest, Romania) is a Canadian author, environmentalist and columnist for the National Post. Solomon is perhaps best known as the author of a recently published series of articles and companion book (The Deniers), where he draws attention to a number of scientists whom he considers to have advanced arguments against what he defines as the “alarmist” view of global warming presented by Al Gore, the IPCC and the mainstream media. Solomon was previously a columnist at The Globe and Mail, and has been published in the National Review Online, CBS News, and the Wall Street Journal. Solomon is a founder and managing director of the Energy Probe Research Foundation.
Solomon's book The Deniers was featured on C-SPAN's Book TV on May 11, 2008. The reviews on this book also appeared in the Washington Times, Vancouver Sun and other newspapers. Most recently he wrote several columns criticizing Misplaced Pages's coverage of global warming and several other topics.
Solomon started the "Green Beanery", an online merchant of green and roasted coffee in 2004. Subsequently it acquired a former bank building in downtown Toronto and converted it to an emporium that has become Canada's largest coffee equipment store, including a cafe that allows customers to sample some 90 varieties of coffee. The profits from Green Beanery go to Probe International, a division of the Energy Probe Research Foundation.
