Nope, just not in the way that you are misusing the data:

The amount that solar irradiance affects global temperature is about half of the previous estimates, and is small compared to the effect of greenhouse gases.
The Milankovitch cycles help explain ice-ages and long-term changes in the climate, but do not have much impact on the decade/century timescale. For the prediction of climate change in the 21st century, these impacts are far less important than radiative forcing from greenhouse gases.

Nope, not interested, having a hard enough time explaining Earth science to you.

I suppose you are going to deny that cruising the playgrounds scoping out little children is sick.
