Of course it could. But it's been relatively quiet the last couple of cycles — nothing that could explain the rising temperatures on Earth.

I was just wondering, the sun heats the plant, if the sun’s fluctuates would it not affect the climate? I know I’m just an amateur astronomer but there are many factors contributing to the raising temps. Are not warming periods followed by cooling periods?

Difference in energy output between solar max and solar min = 0.1 percent. Over longer periods, changes might affect climate. The Little Ice Age correlates with a particularly quiet period on the sun. But overall, our star is fortunately pretty stable.https://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/21/science/space/21sunspot.html …
