One year? Hardly a good sample. Before one goes down this road, a trend would need to be established for at least a few years. This seems more like natural regression (ups and downs), moer than anything.

I do agree that our climate would be more influenced by the energy output of the sun on a relative basis, than the make-up of our atmosphere (for obvious reasons).
VVVVVVV
EDIT: Well I have just read that the sun's output only varies +or- 1% annually. Therefore I am reneging on my above statement.
