... Late last year they documented a massive loss in radiative power from the sun in the 0.2-0.6um bands ...
That wavelength range is the upper half of visible light ... without blue, green or yellow light, the sun would be profoundly red ...
... The dropout is massive from 0.2um to 1.8um ...
This includes the entire visible spectrum ... the sun would mostly stop shining ...
Interesting `facts` there Billy-Bob ... total horseshit but still interesting ...

Climatologists rely on solar astronomers for their input flux numbers ... and these numbers are variable and unpredictable ... but on average runs 1,361 W/m^2 as measured in space ... and climatology is all about averages, so that's a valid number to use in our energy budget calculations ... solar output is also cyclic, about 22 years peak-to-peak, and this is one of the more important reasons to use 100 year climate averages, this lets us average out the variabilities over four solar cycles ... any time period shorter risks individual solar cycles being stronger/weaker than average and corrupting our climate data ...
The sun also vomits out matter, not just energy ... the Earth is bombarded with bare naked protons all the time ... plus a wide variety on even nastier species ... almost all this is dealt with above 1mb elevation and doesn't really effect day-to-day weather, or the 100 year climate averages ... but occasionally it does ... we just don't know for sure ...
