Look, This is nonsense.

What’s really happening is that global cooling is causing illusionary warming.

Smile...

And what observations have been made in the 100 years since 1919?

Very few, as it happens. The only other (more detailed) experiment with the Sun was in 1922. Scientists still use gravitational bending, but to estimate the mass of a remote body by measuring the bending of light, which of course is not a test of Einstein at all, merely putting the numbers into the formula.

Incidentally, there is a much simpler explanation of the phenomenon: that light travels more slowly in a gravitational field, as was proposed by Poincare in the 19c. The bending then follows directly from the Least Time theorem of Heron of Alexandria; it's an exercise in the Calculus of Variations a schoolboy can do.
