I don't think people are really intentionally ignoring this topic. You may want to search on Space ÃÛÌÒÁµÈË.

Do these phenomena impact our weather/climate, yes they do. The question lies in how much and will Ground (instead of Space) ÃÛÌÒÁµÈË people be able to measure it and then be able to connect the dots.
Keep in mind that Modern ÃÛÌÒÁµÈË/Climate science as we know it today is a new field (Vanguard 2 launched in 1959, not a success, TIROS 1 launched in 1960 and worked for 78 days). Sun (Sol) research is even newer with the advent of the SOHO project, which launced in 1995.

Then throw in the new research that suggests cold temperatures aids in the destruction of stratospheric ozone and that warm temperatures actually help increase ozone concentration. The key is temperature based cloud formation and subsequent activation of chlorine.
Just when we thought we had things all figured out and knew everything, Mother Nature threw us a curve ball. A great thing for curious people but a bad thing for people in the Midwest with brand new cross-country skis that will most likely go unused for ANOTHER season.
