Reference:- Ever since Rowan Dean decided to entertain us with kooky ice age predictions he has had to ignore the deadly heatwaves and massive wildfires that regularly ravage the northern hemisphere during our winter .
It's a tough spot you are in Rowan . We used to enjoy sitting down on a Sunday , cracking the popcorn and laughing at all that " Electroverse " guff about the impending ice age. The trouble is , the real news showing deaths during record heatwaves , council cooling rooms for the heat struck , and 22,000 firefighters struggling against 88 uncontrolled wildfires in the USA does make for more compelling viewing .
You have to admit that the video footage of such catastrophes holds an audience's attention far better than a few incomprehensible graphs gleaned from " Electroverse " . True , you do flash those graphs on the screen so briefly that nobody can even read what is being measured on the 'x' and 'y ' axes , which does add a sense of mystery . But let's be honest , your presentations are never going to impress viewers as much as images of a 600 square mile uncontrollable inferno .
We could see you were nervous on Sunday , Rowan . You stammered more than somewhat , and had a tendency to glance about nervously . Normally a news presenter can get away with that if their content is authentic , but you have no hope of peddling kooky propositions if you are not meticulous in your presentation . The slightest stumble will invite suspicions that you don't believe your own conspiracy theories .
Ken junior has pointed out that other comedians , most notably Tommy Cooper , can successfully make ineptitude part of their routine . But you don't have the required humility to run with that , so your performance must always be flawless .
" But no pressure . " , Ken junior says .
Your comrade , Ken .
