Don’t trust the “of the century” headlines. The news loves to get people hyped. Mom used to always say, “The news says it’s the hottest/coldest day of the year!” Of course it is, we’re advancing into summer/winter.
We had spotty planetary telecom 100-years ago and none 200-years ago. All we can say with certainty is that global temps are rising. Everything after that is an educated guess.
For example, my town broke the all-time record for snow last year, in Florida. “Snow of the century”? Probably? Global warming? Probably? (I’m putting that last down to global warming as I doubt the polar vortex was taking a beating like that in the past, but no one can be 100%.)
