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.

The variability of solar irradiance has very little to do with climate change.Solar-forcing,as a function of the Earth's orbital perturbations 'IS' responsible for glaciations.So,solar effects are not inconsequential,but there is a specific hierarchy with respect to climate change,and irradiance is not one of them.
