But the flat-earthers have "proved" that sunspots don't exist!

Gee -- I wonder what flat-earthers will have to say when a CME or an EMP wipes out the electrical grid?

Oh, right, nobody will know because the Internet won't work.

Al Gore, Soros, and the other Climate Changers are now crying fowl whenever anyone admits that the Sun heats the earth. Lord have mercy.
Alpha-Beta-Gamma Active Region (AR2673) did erupt in an X9.3, which did burn the earth on September 6, 2017 (the highest solar flare in a decade) and it did so again on September 10, 2017 with an X8.2, which was geo-effective All my neighbors said that the sun was so hot on those two days that it was burning them, so they could not garden or work outside.
This is Physics 101 folks. Our sun is a star and it does heat the earth. Without the sun, we would be very cold, and when clouds and volcanic ash block the sun, we get cold. In fact, this is part of the eleven year solar cycle. During the solar minimum, which we are now in, there is usually an increase in volcanic activity, which spews volcanic ash and other debris into the atmosphere blocking the sun's radiation and cooling the planet. With the magnetic shield being down during the solar minimum, we feel the rays of the sun more acutely.
