tl;dr - the current trend is unrelated to solar activity or TSI. It has everything to do with the burning of fossil fuels and increase in atmospheric CO2 ppm.

You should actually read through your supposed list of scientists who oppose the consensus. Do a little research on these people, and more often than not, they are quacks, and the vast majority of them have nothing to do with the Earth sciences, or atmospheric sciences in general.

The only actual climatologists who still publish in climatology, such as Roy Spencer, John Christy and Richard Lindzen are widely discredited by their own colleagues.

>But the influence of other factors, such as solar activity and earths position relative to the sun, which were major factors in past climate changes, remain relatively unexplored
What a completely false statement, and right off the bat you reveal just how little you know about climate change. Did you know that climatologists even take cosmic ray fluxes into account when attempting to understand climate forcings and sensitivity?

Oh, then there's your precious solar forcings, which account for <10% of the warming we have seen, and the sun is very stable. Changes in earth's position relative to the sun is a Milankovitch effect, and is far too long term to be causing the warming trends we are witnessing, it is not correlated with them.
