The international climate change treaty summit is less than a month away in Copenhagen.  This week in Toronto, leading experts on the science, policy and politics of global warming will lead a forum on the role Canada is (and isn’t) playing internationally.

• George Monbiot is a columnist for the Guardian and the author of Heat: How to Save the Planet from Burning.
• Richard Littlemore is the co-author of Climate Cover Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming.

James Hoggan is the Chair of the David Suzuki Foundation and the Canadian chapter of Al Gore’s The Climate Project.  I’m in the middle of reading his book Climate Cover-up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming.  I frequently find myself referring to the DeSmogBlog.com website he oversees.  I’m looking forward to hearing him in person.
