Solar Storms

This BBC NEWS article on Solar Storms made me think... if the sun has these big solar storms and spews hot gasses toward the earth every now and again... does this affect our weather? I mean, surely if it can knock out satellite neworks, its got to be responsible for a bit of a hot day? Or Year? P'raps it doesn't work like that. But if it does, maybe we're blaming the greenhouse effect for something that a solar tempest is responsible for. Prolly not... I'm sure the scientists would've thought of that one.
