Did you actually read the articles you linked to Al?
They seem to be looking for a way to properly assign a value to natural perturbations due to the sun so that those can be separated from perturbations caused by mankind. Some of the articles even appear to directly contradict your stance.
Here's a direct quote from one of them...
"Thus, although fluctuations in the amount of solar energy reaching our atmosphere do influence our climate, the global warming trend of the past six decades cannot be attributed to changes in the sun."
While I did not scrutinize each one, the gist was that the sun greatly affects the earths heating and cooling. It's a lot more factual than the mumbo jumbo put forth to support global warming/climate change.
