Your qualifications are not the issue here.

No, your's are.

The reference you provided contradicted the spin you were trying to put
on

The reference I provided indicated that the link between solar activity and
temperature is very strong. Solar activity has a major effect on climate
change and the correlation is provable over a long term. Solar activity is a
natural phenomenon..

will give you a balanced grounding in recent climate research.

Perhaps you would care to point out which of the many links on that page I
should read to refute the point which I made. The recent divergence of
temperature from that predicted is the subject of conjecture at this stage.
I found nothing to suggest that it is otherwise. The unanswered question is
whether CO2 level is a result of temperature change or whether it causes it.
At this stage, nobody can prove that one way or the other, as all the debate
shows. The FAQ in your reference indicates that quite admirably.
