All the latest climate models include the effect of sunspots. So this is clear ignorance on your part.

Second, citing your local temperature as proof that global warming isn't happening is a display of profound ignorance of statistics. First off, it is called GLOBAL warming, not Hawk's backyard warming. Second, one data point does not prove that a trend is dead.

How do you explain the Oct'09 global temperature anomaly heat map below? Is NASA also part of your conspiracy theory? The fact is that global warming is still happening due to CO2 and there will be spots around the world that cool periodically. It's called random variation that does not invalidate the trend. Trends don't always go up in a straight line. They vary up and down on the journey.
