The RDN board was debating developing a regional strategy for net zero buildings and localized energy generation.
“At the risk of offending every true climate believer I think the whole climate thing is a bit of a fiasco,” he said. “We've been facing this global warming thing now for 45 years and it's not happening.”
As the alternate director, Fell attends RDN board meetings when Area F director Leanne Salter is unable to.
Fell then argued that the science that carbon dioxide emissions affect the climate could be “debunked very, very quickly” claiming that he can measure “back radiation” in his yard.
“I have a radiation meter, and it shows you the radiation has a temperature of -32 degrees,” he said. “That doesn't warm ground that is 35 degrees hotter. The emission frequency of CO2 has a heat content of minus 80 degrees Celsius. That doesn't work.”
Fell concluded by saying “I can only call it junk science”
