The theory that any solar activity is linked to climate change was laid to rest a while ago.

Change in solar activity is one of the many factors that influence the climate but cannot, on its own, account for all the changes in global average temperature we have seen in the 20th Century

Claims that increased solar activity is the cause of global warming - rather than man-made greenhouse gases - have been comprehensively disproved by a detailed study of the Sun in Proceedings of the Royal Society A. The study shows there is no doubt that solar activity in the past 20 years has run in the opposite direction to global warming, and therefore cannot explain rises in average global temperatures. The Royal Society said yesterday: "There is a small minority which is seeking to confuse the public on the causes of climate change. They are often misrepresenting the science, when the reality is that the evidence is getting stronger every day
