Snow in China and Unexpected Crises

The Associated Press reports a crisis in China. Millions of people stranded, their plans ruined. The problem is not so much that there is a lot of snow, but that China has grown too fast and doesn't have the trucks and other equipment to deal with these problems.
Imagine what would happen if the north magnetic pole switches places with the south pole, as has happened in our planet thousands of years ago. Who is prepared for the barrage of ultraviolet light and other harmful radiations getting through our protection shield?
According with some 2012 doom-sayers there will be more problems than just increased radiation from the Sun. They talk about tsunamis and earthquakes, an apocalyptic scenario. They say we should go to high mountains in South Africa.
As far as I am concerned I will keep my eyes open for unusual weather.
Millions of Chinese stranded in their New Year vacation, definitely qualifies as a noteworthy event.
