If the Sun got hotter or cooler would we notice on Earth?

We all know that an average temperature rise of even 5°C would have catastrophic effects on our planet. Then wouldn’t the Sun changing temperature by 5°C have a similar effect?

The Sun does get periodically hotter (sunspots) and it does have an effect on Earth. Eventually the Sun will get a lot hotter when it runs out of hydrogen and will expand to approximately where Earth currently orbits.
