Solar output is one of four major influences on the climate. And over the long term, it is increasing - like billions of years. The sun spots are a short term (22 year) cycle, and we recently came through a very unusual *low* sun spot activity (the nadir with almost no spots at all) and even with this lull, temperatures did not decline very much, and now that sun spots are on the upswing, we are seeing lots of new record high temperatures.

Yes, temperatures did drop a little, now if the increase in CO2 is responsible for all to nearly all of the recent increase in temperature, how could that happen? It still was only a 0.1% change in TSI.
