Post Carbon Fellow Anthony Perl was quoted in this article from Simon Fraser University News on and initiative to encourage public debate on climate policy.

From the article:

Among the 60 scientists and scholars calling for a low-carbon economy are SFU Urban Studies professors Anthony Perl and Meg Holden, and SFU Centre for Dialogue and SFU Public Square Executive Director, Shauna Sylvester. SFU Faculty of Environment professor Mark Jaccard served as an external reviewer for the paper.

“It’s better to talk about a post-carbon transition while we still have the time and energy to manage such a transition, rather than waiting for a crisis,” says Perl. “We can’t talk about building a sustainable city without mapping out a path to a post-carbon future. It’s like taking care of our bodies—the longer we put off a visit to the doctor or dentist, the more costly it’s going to be to cure our ills.”
