Short Biography of Peter Carter

Peter D. Carter, M.D.

Peter has been a family physician for over 30 years. He is actively involved

in environment, peace, and sustainable development issues, especially as

they relate to children's health. Peter believes that an ecological

revolution is occurring -- a renaissance involving the role of nature,

culture, spirituality and soul in developing an ecological,

future-sustaining consciousness.

Although we live in the "information age," Peter finds that knowledge on

environmental matters is generally very poor, and that our Euro-American

cultural institutions are working on the basis of an outmoded and

discredited cultural paradigm that is destroying the life supporting and

renewing capacity of the biosphere. In short, the future is being destroyed

though ignorance and insensitivity.

The new cosmological, scientific, psychological and spiritual discoveries

and understandings of the past century are not being incorporated into the

education facilities of our civilization.

Peter has appeared as an expert on behalf of environmental organizations in

environmental hearings and reviews. As a founding director of CAPE (Canadian

Association of Physicians for the Environment), Peter has presented on

sustainable development and health issues in Canada and the United States,

to government agencies and to universities. He has also appeared on the Discovery

Channel. His current focus is on the effects of global heat forcing

("warming") induced climate change on human health and development.
