Arctic Explorer : “Global warming a myth”

Global warming is a myth perpetrated by scientists and politicians with a vested interest, claimed an Arctic explorer presenting in Fort Smith last week.

Laurie Dexter, a former Anglican minister in Fort Smith who has hiked to the North Pole and now works on eco-tourism trips around the Arctic, said his personal experience has shown him that Arctic sea ice is not melting nearly as fast as many scientists and world leaders claim.

Dexter told an audience at Aurora College’s Thebacha Campus that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a result of global temperatures, not a cause.

He said scientific data on how carbon in the atmosphere relates to temperature has been skewed by scientists who profit from global warming, and repeated by world leaders using global warming for political gain.

“There is an industry of global warming,” Dexter said. “There has been a deliberate deception.”

Arctic explorer Laurie Dexter says the plight of polar bears has been greatly exaggerated, as has man-made climate change, by people with a vested interest in the ‘global warming industry’.

“The World Wildlife Fund is one of the most dishonest organizations,” Dexter said. “This is the first time in history a species has been declared endangered when its population is so high.”
