“There appears to be a solar “fingerprint” that can be detected in climatic time
series in other regions of the world, with each series having a unique lag time
between the solar signal and the hydroclimatic response.
A progression of increasing lag times can be spatially linked to the ocean
conveyor belt, which may transport the solar signal over a time span of
several decades.”

If I understand this, if changes in the Sun happen today, it will not immediately change the Earth`s climate.

That's right. If the sun blew up you would not be immediately fried.

Yes.. and no. There will be immediate effects, but there will be delayed effects as well. Some of the sun's short wave radiation hits the earth land surfaces, warms them, which in turn re-emits long wave (infrared) radiation back upward, exciting various types of molecules in the earth's atmosphere, causing immediate warming effects. But most of the sun's short wave radiation hit the oceans, directly warming them. This type of warming is stored for decades, and influence the magnitude of ocean oscillations. These oscillations release heat stored in the oceans, and contribute much later to the temperature in the atmosphere.
