Reference :- Fortunately lovable Sky News weather boy , Rowan Dean , has an explanation .
It sure is wet up out here in Kooralya , Rowan . Dog finds it hilarious to romp in the torrential downpour . He stinks to high heaven , and has trampled mud through the entire house . The ute is bogged to the axles in the back yard . Gumboots are required when a call of nature demands a trip to the outhouse . We can't cook anything that requires a pot , since all the pots are catching drips from the leaking roof . Of course it has flooded this badly before , back around the time of the Boer War , I believe. That means we have experienced a " once in a century " drought , a " once in a century " bush fire , a "once in a century flood " and a "once in a century " pandemic in about the time it took for young Gabbo to grow his culturally inauthentic Rastafarian beard .
Gabbo decided to trawl through your recent weather broadcasts ( which you often dress up as climate analyses ) to establish a coherent explanation for what might otherwise be seen as alarming flenches in the weather . The poorly informed might be comforted by Gabbo's list of your main points , which lend a reassuring logic to our understanding of matters meteorological .
So Rowan , herewith are 10 of your main points , summarized .
1. There is no observable climate change . All these extreme weather events have happened in the past .
2. Sun spot activity is causing all the observed climate change , not human activity .
3. The environment is not deteriorating , such claims are baseless scaremongering .
4. Environmentalists have caused the environment to deteriorate by making ridiculous demands .
5. Scientists world wide have no idea about global temperature change .
6. Knee jerk reactions to weather events occur because nobody listens to the science .
7. The planet is not warming , it is cooling .
8 The warming of the planet is beneficial because thawed permafrost will be suitable for agriculture .
9. Coal powered electricity generation is the only way to keep our power bills affordable .
10. Coal powered electricity generation is unaffordable because of competition with cheap renewables .
I am sure this will dispel any confusion in the minds of your viewers . That's the trouble with being a genius , Rowan , it is easy to forget that others need matters explained more simply .
Your comrade , Ken
