Technically the sun is hotter that it ever has been, and will continue to heat up. Solar flares and other solar phenomenon will continue to be more common and more intense because it ramps up at a square exponent. Though the speed is on astronomical scales and we would never be able to detect a change within thousands of years apart(probably)

So this'll become more and more frequent over my lifetime? I'm thinking about moving to Alaska in a few years anyways, maybe I retire there.

I was so lost trying to figure out how someone is profiting from this I hardly realized you meant we should be worried about the sun.

Well, someone should be worried about the sun. I'm not in science. It'll either not blow up or I won't have to worry about it for long.

Worrying about the sun is to expend energy over something one has zero control over - that sounds pretty crazy.

I mean I'm sure there's people out there who devote years of study and work to worrying about the sun. I'm not one of them. I confess, I do expend energy over things I can't control, but I try to control that.

Same - the reminders to the selves are constant, and necessary. Still, what we practice, we improve at.
