Someone in this thread even I believe said the sun has less than 5% impact on our climate.
The idea is nonsense on its face, as virtually 100% of the energy driving our climate is solar in origin, the little bit of heat coming from the Earth's core is quite minimal compared to that, else Mars would be a green paradise just as Earth is.

You have "heard people" say this? Who?
I think you are misunderstanding what we know: of course the sun has an effect - it is the main source of heat. But it is not DRIVING the increased warming. The sun's output is actually LESS than expected. So, it is in fact human activity that is driving the increased warming we are seeing.
We did see a brief period of cooling - from particulate pollution. We then started to reduce our production of that pollution - so the cooling trend stopped.
You seem to think that scientists don't know what they are talking about - but until you know all the facts, you are simply guessing. Scientists do not guess.
