That's not a sunspot, that's a pimple on a pumpkin, and was only just spotted before zipping around out of view. It won't warm Earth much. It has been about a month without a sun-spot so it's about time one showed up.

Winter is seriously on in the northern hemisphere so it's too late to be saved as sun-spot activity increases from nothing to a few pimples. I'd have thought that the ice age would return on the down swing from a low sun-spot cycle, or three, but maybe, just for fun, we'll be into ice on the upswing into a small sun-spot cycle which won't be strong enough to roll back the ice.
