Nukem,
Two of your three links don’t work. The one that does work quotes the study’s author as saying:
“That does not mean industrial pollution has not been a significant factor.”
WIllson’s study is countered by many others that show no solar trend–or even decreasing solar trend, depending on statistical methods used and types of measurements. The absolute highest estimnate (And one not believed by the vast majority of climatologists) gives solar a 50% percent role in warming, leaving half the warming caused by increasing CO2 concentrations. Moreover, a hotter sun will be amplified by the well-known and emprically proven greenhouse properties of CO2.
There is a scientific consensus. Since you are big on reading, why not read the statements of the scientific organizations, read the peer-reviewed iterature, read the IPCC report, read www.realclimate.org. Then you can open your mouth with more confidence.
