There's a program out there that does exactly what you want:

http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/

The site has instructions for making it work with just about any mail client, 
Thunderbird included. Once it's set up, just add instructions to start the 
daemon in rc.local and then every time you open your desktop mail client, it 
will be synced with GCal. Mine works like a charm with Kontact too.
