Global warming caused by chlorofluorocarbons, not carbon dioxide, new study says

Your links all discuss small variations in well-known climate cycles, and the effects the small changes solar output has on them. No one has said that solar output has NO effect on the climate. What virtually all climatologists say is that the observed change in solar radiance is far too small to explain the warming trend we've seen.

Therefore, the solar forcing combined with the anthropogenic CO2 forcing and other minor forcings (such as decreased volcanic activity) can account for the 0.4°C warming in the early 20th century, with the solar forcing accounting for about 40% of the total warming. Over the past century, this increase in TSI is responsible for about 15-20% of global warming (Meehl 2004). But since TSI hasn't increased in at least the past 32 years (and more like 60 years, based on reconstructions), the Sun is not directly responsible for the warming over that period.
