As Australia Dries Up, Freakish Weeds Take Over: Maybe Texas is Next??

February, 2016
As
the planet continues to experience milestone after milestone of
strange weather patterns and symptoms of climate change, we should
prepare ourselves for more freakishness to come.
In
a small rural town of Wangaratta,
Victoria, residents found themselves and their homes surrounded by
a tumbleweed of
sorts called “hairy panic.” The masses of tumbleweeds have grown
to be the size of houses, creating a very “hairy” situation for
residents who wish to clear the brush.
The weed is
native to all parts of Australia,
but its appearance has been exacerbated by the unusually dry
conditions in the country.
Some
residents are blaming the gigantic explosion on a nearby farmers
paddock which they say he is not properly tending. The city says that
because the weed doesn’t pose a fire hazard, there isn’t much
they are willing to do, though they are considering trying to use a
large vacuum
cleaner to
suck up the debris.
While
changes in weather aren’t a direct comment on climate change
(weather and climate are two different things, after all), this
unusual occurrence causes even the most skeptical climate-denier to
scratch their head and wonder what in the world is so off-balance
that these giant masses of weeds are overtaking Australian homes.
Could this bizarre plant mass make its way to the dry lands
of California or Texas next?
Watch
this video of residents sharing their concerns about the giant masses
of tumbleweeds.
