The current cool period this past year has correlated with a shutdown in the sunspot cycle on the sun.
If it would be that easy to predicte weather by sun spot that there is a clear correletan in a timeframe of single years it should be easy to get via regression analysis a strong case for the sun spot thesis.
The problem however is that short timeframes are dominated by "noise".
If a blogger uses noise as basis for an argument it shows that he doesn't understand the issue.
As a lay person it is very hard to evaluate such blog posts. Climate science isn't easy.

In addition the claim of climate change doesn't only focus on rising temperaturs but also on rising derivations.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
