I'm not trying to downplay this event, but the biggest change in the weather is the fact that our communication systems now let it be reported instantly around the entire world. This shit has been happening for hundreds of years. The only difference is none of us heard about "21 marathon runners dying from a freak storm in northern China". That's just a fact. In another 20 years we'll be hearing about a lot more tragic weather events in Africa and South America. They're happening today. They just don't make the headlines because they're still behind on communications infrastructure.
