Climate change is natural, whether or not we speed up the process is up for debate.
Also remember, solar activity is peaking the end of this year, which, if the solar flares hit us, might end up wiping out all electronics.
(popular science had an article on it a while back, and another source does some more explaining)

If one directly hits us and is big enough to do that, electronics would be the least of our worries.

Personally, I think it's a bit too early to decide if the earth is warming up. We only have 100 or so years of recorded temperatures, which isn't much to go by. A good number would be, like, 5k years.
You should read my posts and go to the links. Here is the one that might address your issue directly:
NASA Earth Observatory
We can definitely say that the earth is warming up. I also saw plots of tree distribution maps that correlate with warming, and when plotted for different future scenarios using current changes, that warming trend keeps up.

funny that people keep saying it's not real.
is it really that hard to go to a link that is given and spend just 1 hour to discover that it is real. and that they have been preaching nothing more then lies..
I think he meant giss.nasa.gov
that link also has info that it is real...
and climate change is a world wide thing not exclusive for city's
using information about the city's is only a small piece of the complete puzzle.
better go to climate.nasa.gov and find the complete puzzle. it makes much more sense then only 1 little piece.

In the popular science article, it talked about how lack of electricity would cause nuclear meltdowns within I think 48 hours, so they have to have a lot of spare generators nearby in order to prevent that.

Oh come on, scientists proved that global warming is caused every few thousand years, with a Ice Age after it.

please inform yourself befor shouting stuff.
it's proven that there are temperature changes, yes.
the difference is that in the past it it happened in thousends of years to get the changes we have seen occur the last 50 year.
in atleast the last 650.000 year the co2 level in our atmosphere has not been above the 300. it is however since 1950 and is today nearly hitting 400. almost double the amount it should be.
and our earth has only had 1 ice age befor and that was because there was to much volcanic ash in the atmosphere that blocked nearly all sunlight. we (humans) are all dead way befor the next ice age will occur. that can take a few hundred million year tho.
plz. inform yourself about the subject and don't be to ignored because you see all those other people being ignorend.
climate change is very real. you can deny it but it wont go away by it.

solar activity is peaking?
there is no such thing... oh wait yea there is. but by the time it is going to peak it will be to late for earth and will it be blown away. by then our earth will be in the place where mars is now.
but your talking about solar flares.
you know what is interesting about solar flares.. you can't predict them untill they have already been released.
solar flares happen all the time. literally all the time.
they shoot out every way and only sometimes it precisely hit the earth. usualy when this happens we can can see the northern light all over the world or 1 side (depending on the power of the solar flare) in 2010 or 2011 we had the most powerfull solar flare hitting the earth ever recorded. did you mention it happening? no because even the most powerfull ever hitting us didn't do enough damage to fry some electronics
solar flares is nothing to be scared of and are usually completely harmless. and it has only a small effect on the temperature, for a small time.
