Dr. Peter D. Carter is a retired family physician who practiced medicine first in England and then in Canada for almost 40 years. After his sons were born, Peter became actively involved in environmental, climate change and sustainable development issues. He is a founding director of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, the founder of the Climate Emergency Institute and was an expert reviewer for the IPCC fifth climate change assessment. He has presented on sustainable development, environmental health policy, biodiversity, climate change and human rights protection issues in Canada, the US and overseas. Since 2007, Peter has developed a unique approach to climate change risk that has been published in scientific journals. He has documented the science that shows we are already far beyond "dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system". This science shows that the world is facing planetary catastrophe from multiple amplifying feedbacks in the Arctic and will contribute to catastrophic crop declines.
