Lawrence Solomon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lawrence Solomon (born 1948 in Bucharest, Romania) is a Canadian writer and columnist for the National Post, best known as a denier of global warming. Solomon was previously a columnist at The Globe and Mail[citation needed], and wrote an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal[1]. He is also a founder and managing director of the Energy Probe Research Foundation.
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.[2] The profits from Green Beanery go to Probe International,[3] a division of the Energy Probe Research Foundation[4].
Solomon's books include the following titles:
- The Deniers, (Richard Vigilante Books, 2008)
- Toronto Sprawls: A History (University of Toronto Press, 2007)
- (with his wife, Patricia Adams) In the Name of Progress (Earthscan, 1992)
- Energy shock: After the oil runs out (Doubleday, 1980)
- The Conserver Solution (Doubleday, 1978)
Solomon's book The Deniers was featured on C-SPAN's Book TV on May 11, 2008.[5] The reviews on this book also appeared in the Washington Times, Vancouver Sun and other newspapers. Most recently he wrote several columns criticizing Wikipedia [6][7].
