Belief

The other day i was reading a news article which said frogs married as Assam goes dry. 
It was pretty interesting to note that the rain Gods would be pleased if frogs are married. 
This might sound quaint in the 21st century but is this what they call "Butterfly Effect"? 
 Does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas. To make it simple Small variations in the initial conditions of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behaviour of the system. 

Here the frog marriage is a small variation in the initial condition of the system and the large variation in the behaviour of the system is the change in the climate. 

Just a thought ...
