So, does that mean that solar activity could possibly have an affect on Earth's weather?



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.

Highly unlikely. Cosmic ray flux was on the upswing as temperatures climbed. According to the cosmic ray theory of climate, those cosmic rays should have produced more clouds and cooled the climate. Therefore, the observed results contradict the theory.
