A video posted on the web this morning, April 22, show locust swarms attacking the crops of  farmers in the South Australian outback. When I saw this I thought: Keep this from Pat Robertson or he'll be making other half crazy statements about somebody, somewhere doing something or other and are to blame. Science be damned. The cause is that some of us just haven't been what we should have, and have been what shouldn't have. Please!

"Heavy rains that ended a long drought in north-eastern Australia has provided ideal breeding conditions for the bugs. Officials said the swarms that appeared in remote parts of Queensland had moved to more built-up New South Wales." (BBC)

Yeah. Turn the video up and listen to the sound of these buggers swarm, as they go about chomping on every thing that they please. These locusts have been coming on like a  plague from biblical days  –  have caused financial problems  for thousands of farmers, and the authorities are warning that the locusts are only starting, for the worse is to come! There are going to be a lot more of them from the eggs that this batch is laying.
