How puzzling.

There's also the NASA News Release: Evidence for Recent Climate Change on Mars,

And the Max Planck Institute's conclusion that "The Sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures",

And this:

Puzzling.
Baffling.
Who could possbily figure out what this means?

The global warming party line is that they certainly have taken into account the very slight change in solar energy output (only about 0.1%), and it can only account for a small fraction of the observed warming. (Your graph is of sunspot numbers, not actual solar output; the sun puts out slightly more energy during sunspot maximums, and as your graph shows, these have been higher in recent decades.)
