Lawrence Solomon (born 1948 in Bucharest, Romania) is a Canadian writer and columnist for the National Post, best known as the author of a series of articles, and a recently published book (The Deniers), presenting contrarian arguments against anthropogenic global warming. Solomon was previously a columnist at The Globe and Mail , and has been published in several other publications such as the National Review Online and CBS News. 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. The profits from Green Beanery go to Probe International, a division of the Energy Probe Research Foundation.

Solomon's books include the following titles:

• The Deniers, (Richard Vigilante Books, 2008)
• Toronto Sprawls: A History (University of Toronto Press, 2007)
• In the Name of Progress (with Patricia Adams) (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. 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.
