We’ve been told by scientists that the Sun can’t affect our climate to any appreciable extent because it’s power output stays effectively the same, regardless of sunspots.

So global warmist scientists would say there’s no chance of downward temperature changes from this.

Though the overall modulation of solar output is modest, the UV output varies by about 15%, which does drive changes in the Earth’s atmosphere.

There's a very slight reduction in overall radiation, plus a slight shift towards the blue spectrum if I recall correctly.

However, the reduction in solar wind allows a much greater number of cosmic rays to hit the atmosphere, which acts like a giant cloud chamber. The theory is that the cosmic rays dramatically increase the amount of cloud cover, raising Earth's albedo and lowering surface temperatures significantly.

I need a better explanation than this. Where do scientists think most of the heat to the earth comes from? The earth itself? This sure doesn’t sound right. Of course, if these are the same “global warming” experts we’re always hearing from then it all needs to be taken with a grain of salt anyway.
