If you want to be pedantic the Sun plays the largest role in the temperature of the earth. What it may not play as large a role in is the variation of that temperature. No Sun and we have no warming at all
Global warm.. wait, what?

LOL. Oh dear, you don't need to be an expert on the climate to know that the sun has the most to do with it. Where do you think all the energy comes from? There's absolutely no reason to suspect that it would be necessary for the Earth's temp to be jumping up and down every decade to coincide with the sun, this time scale is so tiny that the effects dampen out.

You don't appear to understand what ghost is saying.
Almost all of the energy that reaches earth and sustains life comes from the sun. This is common knowledge; where else would it come from?
The point he is making is that the variation in the energy is constant, going up and down, up and down, by the same amount every few years. This means that the sun cannot have caused the overall increase in temperature that earth has experienced over the last century. See?
The fact is, the scientific community is massively concurrent on anthropogenic global warming. Whether you agree with them or not is a personal matter, in the end, but unless you have startling new evidence I am afraid you are probably in the wrong. Have a read of this, and see what you think: http://www.monthlyreview.org/080728farley.php
Try to put thoughts of a global conspiracy out of your mind for at least a moment.
