We have to hope that particulates and gases from a volcanic eruption do nothing to derail the global warming juggernaut. I enjoy irony as much as the next guy but that would be too much. So my prediction is that things will be different in the coming year yet strangely familiar.
Your post reminds me of a quote from Futurama
Fry: "This snow is beautiful. I'm glad global warming never happened."
Leela: "Actually, it did. But thank God nuclear winter canceled it out."
