Does global warming change sun intensity?

Do you realize your question is inane?

There is some debate as to how cloud formation is affected by global warming. In some place the increased evaporation increases cloud cover, in other especially over dry places the warming is reducing cloud cover. So global warming does affect the about of sunshine that reaches the earth's surface, we just don't yet totally understand how.

Climate Change skeptics Richard Lindzen and Roy Spencer are often lumped together by deniers. But they are polar opposites. Lindzen proposes that clouds will be a negative feed back and work to slow global warming to a rate we don't have to worry about. Spencer proposes that cloud behavior randomly changed in a way that reduce cloud-cover, that is the reason for the warming, and there is nothing humans can do about it. Meanwhile, both are dismissed my most climatologist.

Clouds are a feedback, and the consensus is now that global warming is increasing clouds and rain in wet areas, decreasing clouds and causing more drought in dry areas. Through clouds, global warming does affect intensity of sunlight at the earth's surface.

Sun intensity affects the temperature of the earth, not the other way around.

Greenhouse gases do not effect the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface and only has a small effect on far infrared from the Sun, which only accounts for a very small percentage of energy from the Sun. What they do is trap heat from Earth from escaping into space.

the thinning of ozone ( O3 ) in the upper atmosphere allows much more UVa and UVb in . 30 % of the sheep in southern chile have cataract blindness from to much uv .

No such thing as global warming.

It is because of Global Warming that the ozone layer has been ruptured and if this depreciation keeps rising, we will start feeling the REAL heat of the Sun. So yes Global Warming is definitely responsible for us experiencing warmer than usual summers.

just temporature, global warming is just, in basic terms, a thicker atmosphere which means that less sunlight/heat is reflected away from the earths surface.
