There is a massive problem going on as we speak but there seems to be little concern on the part of the world's people.
Locusts.
Millions of locusts, with many more to come are wiping out vast areas of farmland in Africa. I've read that they could be endangering the ability of some 19 million people to have anything at all to eat. There will be tremendous numbers of people and animals starving to death, many already are, while there is very little help being offered. They have very few planes to spray with and they keep running out of pesticide. While the problem is horrendous as it is they say it's likely to get to be some 400 times as bad as the rainy season is approaching.
There is constant 'news' about a pandemic that is possible but is not there yet and yet we hear very little about the catastrophe that is in progress in Africa. Do people feel like a few million less African folks is acceptable? It seems like people are only concerned if it might affect their own hides or finances.
