The thing is that it's not just by/coming from 'our' sol.

Cosmic rays come from everywhere. It's not just our sol, but it's neighborhood.

[which impacts severely our technology and our near Earth environment, is determined by the activity cycle of the Sun and its violent events, such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections, by particle acceleration and transport in the space between the planets (interplanetary space), and by the intrusion of cosmic rays from our Milky Way galaxy.

[1) It is a matter of comprehension: Space Weather, In order to master predictions of Space Weather as we have come to be accustomed to with weather predictions every day, we need to understand the forces that drive events of solar activity and the environment that they act in, i.e. the heliosphere.]

Whatever, there it is.

Of course, our sun has a great deal to do with out immediate neighborhood,

In ten thousand years, give or take a few years... add on the escapen rate of our moon (tides), we'll add on the numbers.
