Below is a trend chart that shows despite the lack of sunspots in the last year, the overall upward trend in temperatures is intact. That screams out to a statistician that another variable, such as CO2, is causing warming above and beyond what sunspots cause.


And then here's another chart that shows the 2008 global average temperature anomalies. Red means higher than expected and blue means cooler than expected. Notice the overwhelming red colors, meaning 2008 was a year of higher than average temperatures, despite lower sunspot activity. That is one hell of an ominous chart.

"2008 was the coolest year since 2000 but still ranks in the top ten warmest years since record-keeping began in 1880, reported NASA last week."
