The climate is always changing, it's predicting it that is so difficult because the cyclic nature of climate, as opposed to simple weather, is of such an extended periodicity. I seem to recall that just one of the many different cycles involved has a duration in the region of 7,000 years, while others are relatively short. Some of the influences on our climate come from well outside of this planet's atmosphere!
No doubt in a couple of weeks we'll all be complaining about too much rain!
