What is the tie (if any) to our sun's natural cycle of warming and cooling have to do with the climate on our planet ?
As I understand, a new backwards facing sunspot was discoverd reacently and it had been observed that in the past when backward sunspots appeared it would seem to be a precurser to a more active solar flare season too come.

On each solar cycle the solar activity gets to its` highest rate and this means more solar energy and more heat and solar wind(the high speed particles comming from sun). and that also means wramer earth!!! During this cycles the suns` magnetic poles get reverse! sun spots are there because of higher magnetic spots and during these solar magnetic poles reversal the number of sun spot also get higher, these cycles are every 11 years

The period known as the little iceage coincided with a period where Galileo could not see a single sunspot. We know that highenergy particles can spark could formation. And we know that the sun, when active, expands its magneticfield and deflects these highenergy particles that originate in other parts of the galaxy. So when the sun is calm it means more highenergy particles slams into the atmosphere and theoretically seeds it with more clouds that blocks out a little more sunlight than usually effectively altering earths albedo. And this should make earth temporarily colder. So there could be a link between solar activity and short term climate change.

Certainly any cooling or warming of the Sun would cause a corresponding cooling or warming on Earth, since Earth gets most of its heat from the Sun. But no changes in the Sun large enough to cause measurable changes in Earth's climate have ever been observed. We do not see any large changes in the total energy output of the Sun that are correlated to sunspots or flares. So if you are trying to say that global warming could be due to the Sun, you are barking up the wrong tree.
