We can measure levels of solar fluctuation very accurately. Apart from the fact that these fluctuations are fairly small over the short term, they also show that there is no support for the theory that the sun is causing the warming. In fact, it's pretty obvious it's not.

Perhaps you have never taken a science or statistics class.

I have a degree in physics/math and have taken two semesters of meteorology, with time spent in a meteorology station. I don't claim to be an expert, but I understand the principles and arguments well enough.

Don't worry, I will educate you. To make an educated guess on cause-and-effect you must have sufficient data. Your minuscule 30 years of solar data is WORTHLESS.

If the level of insolation and sunspot frequency has been steady or declining, then the hypothesis that the sun is causing the recent warming seems very silly on the face of it, especially when past fluctutations have caused no such effect. Wouldn't you agree? How precisely do you propose that the sun is causing this warming? Putting out magic warm-beams that we can't detect?
