More Sunspots Than in Last 1,000 Years

From the BBC:

But the most striking feature, he says, is that looking at the past 1,150 years the Sun has never been as active as it has been during the past 60 years.

Over the past few hundred years, there has been a steady increase in the numbers of sunspots, a trend that has accelerated in the past century, just at the time when the Earth has been getting warmer.

The data suggests that changing solar activity is influencing in some way the global climate causing the world to get warmer.

But I'm sure the activity of this star in the middle of our solar system, which is 864,938 miles in diameter, about 333,000 times more massive than the earth, and burns at about 11,000 degrees F has nothing to do with global warming.
