Garbage. It is thought that the sun’s magnetic effects have a significant effect on climate. Assuming this is true, no-one has any proven mechanism as to how this happens. There are still major problems establishing a link between GCRs and climate; i.e Henrik Svensmark.
We are not talking about a change in the amount of radiation we get from the sun controlled by the solar constant.. Changes in this seem to have a negligible effect on climate. Something else that changes on the sun affects climate. When we know what this is, then we will be able to discuss the subject sensibly.
