"The illustrations [below] show the raw data for temperature and solar activity at the top, then that data with a 11 year running average to filter out the normal solar activity period. The middle graph suggests a correlation between solar activity and temperature, even though the peaks are offset. But when the last few years of data are included, the curves diverge and severely weaken the case for the driving of temperature by this measure of solar activity. These illustrations were prepared by Chris Merchant, School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh from the original data."

And from the same website:

The temperature variations of the 20th century do not in fact track the CO2concentration well at all. The above illustration is a sketch of data presented by Durkin and is subject to comparison with more primary references. It could be argued that we have just gotten into the area where the radiative forcing of the greenhouse gases show the human influence since about 1970. But overall for the 20th century, it appears that solar activity correlates more closely with temperature change.

And I might note, the day with the most solar radiation in our hemisphere about June 21 is usually not the warmest day for the year, temperatures lag heating the top half of the planet.
