Peak solar activity is arriving sooner than expected, reaching levels not seen in 20 years

Most climate change demagogues strenuously avoid to talk about the sun! Why?
Could it be that the sun is the main factor affecting warming on earth. 

Solar activity and cycles are not constant. Fact is, we still know very little about the sun! Probably, we know less about the sun then we know about what is going on in our oceans with respect to climate.

"In 2019, as the Sun approached a minimum in its 11-year cycle of magnetic activity, a dozen scientists assembled for a traditional exercise: forecasting the next peak. Now, a few years into the Sun’s resurgence, it’s becoming clear that the official prediction from the panel, convened by NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the International Space Environment Service (ISES), missed the mark. The Sun’s activity has already surpassed the forecast, reaching levels not seen in 20 years, and solar maximum may arrive within the next year, months ahead of its presumed schedule. “Obviously the panel underestimated it,”
The discrepancy highlights a need for better observations of the Sun. It may also point to unknown factors influencing the churning dynamo of ionized gas that gives rise to the Sun’s magnetic field. “I’d like to think we’re making progress in terms of understanding the dynamo, but there’s work to do,”  ..."
