The Atlantic Ocean’s surface temperature swings between warm and cold phases every few decades. Like its higher-frequency Pacific relative El Nino, this so-called “Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation” can alter weather patterns throughout the world. The warmer spell we’ve seen since the late 1990s has generally meant warmer conditions in Ireland and Britain, more North Atlantic hurricanes, and worse droughts in the US Midwest.
Scientists have widely hypothesised

Huh? Source?
the know in 100 years we will all be dead from the oceans rising

Does the sun (a)effect the earth climate?

Yup. Internal variation. Like the El Nino/La Nina cycle.
Thing is, as the planet warms, those spikes (and dips) don't change the trend.

In 1973, a computer program was developed at MIT to model global sustainability. Instead, it predicted that by 2040 our civilization would end. While many in history have made apocalyptic predictions that have so far failed to materialize, what the computer envisioned in the 1970s has by and large been coming true. Could the machine be right?
I already countered your above post about the maunder minimum in which you choose not to respond
Oh, I read it. Trouble is, it doesn't seem to fit the data. And, as I recall, it leaned on the correlation between the "little ice age" and the Maunder minimum. Seems people may have had just as much to do with that as the sun did.
Guess you didnt like the scientific study that suggest otherwise

While the MM occurred within the much longer LIA period, the timing of the features are not suggestive of causation and should not, in isolation, be used as evidence of significant solar forcing of climate. Climate model simulations suggest multiple factors, particularly volcanic activity, were crucial for causing the cooler temperatures in the northern hemisphere during the LIA. A reduction in total solar irradiance likely contributed to the LIA at a level comparable to changing land use.
