I don't think we have any evidence showing sun spots creating warmer weather?
Yea, they openly declare there is no direct correlation in that writing. We do not have the capability to unravel this currently, imo.
I suspect as time continues we will develop a better understanding. There is certainly a relationship to the solar output of the sun and the planetary state, but do sunspots drive anything? or are they just a common feature type thing.
When we examine a given sunspot and its projected matter, we are not really in a position to translate that to a direct understanding.
I am clearly posing it as a question, the correct response is, yes we do not have any usable evidence proving such a claim.
The reality is that the sun has much more output than we measure, the impact of the sun on the climate is a reality, but we cannot easily explain the fluctuations we see given our methods of analysis.
So, what I am implying is that it is unlikely the sun spots cause a change in the planets temperature.
A good example of this is the strength of our magnetic field being tied to the sun's state via the interplanetary magnetic field. As we see a reduction in the strength of the magnetic field, we can expect changes with respect to radiation and other matter entering the atmosphere, as one such possibility for something happening which we cannot easily explain and prove using our tools.
