Reference :- We seem to be experiencing a lot of " once in a century " environmental catastrophes lately .

 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
