This piece of propaganda aimed at Primary Schools and Media Studies Students, is initially credited to:
"Five ways UK farmers are tackling climate change
By David Brown
BBC News"

Global warming made Hurricane Dorian bigger, wetter – and more deadly
Unfortunately for the alarmists, there are several factors that are getting in the way of the public promotion of the Mann/Dessler narrative:
