And they tell you that solar activity has no impact. Well it does !

I check out "space weather".com every day and today there was an interesting article because at this time a huge coronal hole has opened up which has this effect on earth:
Approximately once a week, Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus fly space weather balloons to the stratosphere over California. These balloons are equipped with radiation sensors that detect cosmic rays, a surprisingly "down to Earth" form of space weather. Cosmic rays can seed clouds, trigger lightning, and penetrate commercial airplanes. Furthermore, there are studies ( #1, #2, #3, #4) linking cosmic rays with cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in the general population. Our latest measurements show that cosmic rays are intensifying, with an increase of almost 13% since 2015:
They also link to this press release:

Solar activity has a direct impact on Earth's cloud cover
A team of scientists from the National Space Institute at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Space) and the Racah Institute of Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has linked large solar eruptions to changes in Earth's cloud cover in a study based on over 25 years of satellite observations.
atmosphere.....

Since clouds are known to affect global temperatures on longer timescales, the present investigation represents an important step in the understanding of clouds and climate variability.

When the large solar eruptions blow away the galactic cosmic rays before they reach Earth they cause a reduction in atmospheric ions of up to about 20 to -30 percent over the course of a week. So if ions affect cloud formation it should be possible to observe a decrease in cloud cover during events when the Sun blows away cosmic rays, and this is precisely what is done in this study.

The eruptions cause a reduction in cloud fraction of about 2 percent corresponding to roughly a billion tonnes of liquid water disappearing from the atmosphere.

The Suns contribution to past and future climate change may thus be larger than merely the direct changes in radiation, concludes the scientists behind the new study.
 
Cool! So if we can learn control the sun, we don't have to control ourselves! Ah progress.
 
There is nothing 'ourselves" can do to change the impact of the sun's maximum and minimum flare periods. Climate Change is a UN redistribution of wealth. Ours, to anybody that wants it. They have told us so out of their own mouths.

Yes, that's it, it's all a conspiracy.
 
The cosmic ray theory has been conclusively disproved. In recent years, cosmic ray flux has been up, due to a weaker solar magnetic field. Cosmic ray climate theory said that should have resulted in cooling. Instead, the world warmed strongly. Hence, that theory is disproved.

No, they have not.

The world's nations, to which Edenhofer (who was not speaking for the IPCC in any case) referred, have taken policies in their efforts to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, that Edenhofer describes as a redistribution of wealth. The IPCC has done nothing aimed at redistributing wealth and has no power to make any such change in the governance of any planet on Earth.
 
The sun is not the problem. Solar irradiance has been hitting historical lows. However, the actual range of solar total solar irradiance (TSI) is quite small. What we've been experiencing has been caused by an increased greenhouse effect. That has been caused by increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily CO2 and methane. Those levels have been increasing since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, primarily from the combustion of fossil fuels in our automobiles and power planets and to an additional extent from deforestation removing the planet's ability to scrub CO2 from the atmosphere and replace it with O2.

NO ONE in mainstream science debates these points. The evidence is overwhelming. There is no other viable alternative and signature effects of greenhouse warming have been observed.
