This weather is driving me crazy

Is it us? Is it "them"? Is it nature? I read on the Net tonight it might be aliens! Maybe. Maybe not. It has to be something. Sun spots and sun spot cycles seem to be the go. Space weather seems to affect us. Most of the stuff I found was HIGHLY scientific. I am LOWLY scientific so :

Seeing Double at Space.com was something I could follow. It has the Hubble telescope too. See what I mean? You try and get a simple answer these days...to what you think is a simple question, and you come up with all this circumspect discussion and become so knowledeable from it....but I still don't know why we have wonky weather.
