Default The Quiet Sun

The solar minimum is about at maximum I believe. This mast solar max was
quite long lived highlighted by extreme flaring events and large sunspots.
However, in terms of actual sunspot numbers, it was average.
As this graphic indicates, 1960, 1980, 1990 were loaded. How much does
solar variation affect climate?
