I'm working on setting up a radio debate between global warming skeptic (and James Heartfield favorite) Bjorn Lomborg and EcoEquity's Tom Athanasiou. Lomborg's got a book coming out next month from Cambridge.

This coming Thursday, radio debate between Sebastian Mallaby, author of a new book about Wolfie & the World Bank, and Patrick McCully of International Rivers Network (an organization that Mallaby beats up on in the book).
