Greg Egan's Perihelion Summer probably fits this description. Near-future sci-fi in which a black hole passing through the solar system knocks the earth off its orbit. Summers get way hotter and winters get way colder, like climate change taken to an extreme.

it's mostly interested in how the characters try to survive in this world, so it's maybe not as wide in scope as some of these books, but I think it would count. some people might find the focus on nerdy science discussions to be off-putting but I enjoyed it.
