Funny how you limit the argument to the period of recent warming, conveniently overlooking the inconvenient truth that solar magnetic activity has been uniformly high over this period of warming and excluding the well documented climate history over the past centuries where sunspot activity, and cosmic ray activity, match climate history rather well. I guess you didn't read the above post before commenting.
Why exclude so much known climate hitory from the argument? My guess is that the real denialists are on the AGW side of the argument, and your argument is one piece of supporting evidence.
A thought experiment.
Imagine turning on an oven, then saying that the element had nothing to do with the temperature rise because the temperature rose over time, and not the instant the element was turned on. This is apparently your argument when you say that cosmic ray activity has been constant while temperatures warmed. I am not trying to make a thermodynamic climate argument so spare me the flames on my simplistic model. I just want to point out that the logic of your premise is flawed.
