Default Ice Ages and interstellar hydrogen

Hypothesis: On the basis that our sun is huge hydrogen (fusion)
furnace, the sun's brightness (temperature) and/or emissivity (albedo)
can be affected by the amount of molecular hydrogen that our sun draws
in from interstellar space. [I also consider that the fusion process is
maintained mainly on the sun surface and within a shallow crust; the
remainder of the sun mass being inert with a great thermal mass and
gravity that serve to hold the hydrogen matter in place for reaction and
to stabilize temperatures.]

Were a fresh H2 gas supply to be received, as via an H2 gas globule
intercepted on our journey trough our galaxy, this may increase the
fusion activity, the temperature and emission photons should increase,
and we should experience natural global warming.

On the other hand, were the fresh H2 to quench some activity, or
otherwise diminish the emissivity (albedo) the photon emission would
decrease, and ergo; an ice age ensues. Alternatively, if a dry spell
ensues where no H2 globules are received, an ice age eventually will
persist until the next H2 intercept.

H2 globules exist. Evidence of one possibly nearby, off off our
celestial equator toward a pole was found few years ago by observer Russ
Childers of our local radio astronomy activity (J Kraus's "big ear",
more later). Here an H2 cloud was identified by its 1.6 gHz "water hole"
emission, a few degrees across; especially identifiable was the +-
doppler shifts at the perimeter of the cloud as a result of its rotation.

Has anyone investigated this H2 influx effect on global warmings/ice ages?
