Climatologists predicts "Global Cooling", and blames California drought on global cooling.

Mount Ranier in Washington may explode soon, probably Sept. 2015

caused by a disruption in the Molten Iron Core of the Earth

due to a passing planet.

climate change

have you noticed how it gets really hot in the summer?
and
then it gets really cold in the winter?

well this is climate change
and
it is hard to ignore

I know you have been worried about the debt, jobs, and terrorism
but
now you need to take a look at climate change

global warming is hard to prove
but
not climate change

consider yourself warned

You obviously have no idea what climate change is. Climate change is not something that can be identified or studied from on a seasonal scale. Go read a textbook and come back when you can even define climate change.

There is no global warming as mainstream media and science would have you believe. Actual research shows that humans have little to no affect on climate change. The sun has cycles that it goes through and these cycles control the rise and fall of the climate temperatures. The sun is ending a 200 year cycle and as a result the climate will soon become cooler.

Actually, we've been in a profound sunspot minimum, one of the strongest in centuries. Should have had some really cold weather; the last one was the "little ice age" that froze Europe. But all it did was slow the rise in temperatures. A year and a half ago:

Could a Maunder Minimum mitigate a warming climate?

Not likely, says Hathaway.

Although the rise of global temperatures seen in “the last decade or so seems to have currently leveled off,” says Hathaway, he notes that even a Maunder Minimum would still not be enough to counter the warming effects of anthropogenic climate change.

If anything, a Maunder Minimum may simply make existing weather and short term climate even more unusual and difficult to predict.

That alone should give us cause for concern. While it's good that the warming trend was blunted for a bit, it's not likely to continue. Anthropogenic carbon is now the primary driver, as the lack of cooling from the current sunspot minimum shows. Last year was the hottest on record, and it looks like this one will be well over the average as well.
