The important point to remember is that climate is not controlled by a single factor. Solar cosmic rays are clearly a major influence on cloud formation and hence temperatures. They are not even considered by the IPCC.

"The graph below shows a correlation between the cosmic ray counts and the global troposphere temperature radiosonde data. The cosmic ray scale is inverted to correspond to increasing temperatures. High solar activity corresponds to low cosmic ray counts, reduced low cloud cover, and higher temperatures. The upper panel shows the troposphere temperatures in blue and the cosmic ray count in red. The lower panel shows the match achieved by removing El Nino, the North Atlantic Oscillation, volcanic aerosols and a linear trend of 0.14 Celsius/decade. "

There is a far better correlation of temperatures with solar activity than CO2:

Here's another article worth reading:
