TSI in 2010, 2011, down slightly. And still had years that ranked in the top ten.
I need YOU and all your pant-wetting alarmist brothers to read and understand this.. It's not front-page science and the Warming Church doesn't want to discuss the implications..

Recent findings indicate that instrinsic TSI variation has had a much larger role (up to 50 %) in global warming during the industrial era than previously predicted by global circulation models (GCMÂ’s)[/B][/SIZE].[15]

Scientists find errors in hypothesis linking solar flares to global temperature

A new study has discredited a previous hypothesis suggesting the existence of a link between solar flares and changes in the earth’s global temperature. In a handful of studies published in Physical Review Letters between 2003 and 2008, a team from Duke University and the Army Research Office including Nicola Scafetta and Bruce West analyzed data that appeared to show that solar flares have a significant influence on global temperature. However, in the new study, which is also published in Physical Review Letters, Martin Rypdal and Kristoffer Rypdal of the University of Tromso in Norway have reexamined the data and the previous analysis and noticed some shortcomings. One of the biggest causes of concern is that the previous analysis did not account for larger trends in factors that affect solar flares and global temperature. The Norwegian researchers also noted that the previous analysis had errors beyond the lack of detrending. As the researchers explain, the results provide more evidence to support the supposedly controversial theory of human-induced global warming. "The theory of anthropogenic global warming consists of a set of logically interconnected and consistent hypotheses,” Martin Rypdal said. “This means that if a cornerstone hypothesis is proven to be false, the entire theory fails. A corresponding theory of global warming of solar origin does not exist. What does exist is a set of disconnected, mutually inconsistent, ad hoc hypotheses. If one of these is proven to be false, the typical proponent of solar warming will pull another ad hoc hypothesis out of the hat. This has been the strategy of Scafetta and West over the years, and we have no illusion that our paper will put them to silence.

Solar Variation - Effects on Global Warming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(excerpts)
Lockwood and Fröhlich, 2007, find that there "is considerable evidence for solar influence on the Earth’s pre-industrial climate and the Sun may well have been a factor in post-industrial climate change in the first half of the last century," but that "over the past 20 years, all the trends in the Sun that could have had an influence on the Earth’s climate have been in the opposite direction to that required to explain the observed rise in global mean temperatures." - Lockwood, Mike; Claus Fröhlich (2007). "Recent oppositely directed trends in solar climate forcings and the global mean surface air temperature" (PDF). Proceedings of the Royal Society A 463: 2447. Bibcode 2007RSPSA.463.2447L. doi:10.1098/rspa.2007.1880. "Our results show that the observed rapid rise in global mean temperatures seen after 1985 cannot be ascribed to solar variability, whichever of the mechanisms is invoked and no matter how much the solar variation is amplified."
"Solar forcing has declined since 1987" - Lockwood, Mike; Fröhlich, Claus (8 June 2008). "Recent oppositely directed trends in solar climate forcings and the global mean surface air temperature. II. Different reconstructions of the total solar irradiance variation and dependence on response time scale". Proc. R. Soc. A 464 (2094): 1367–85. Bibcode 2008RSPSA.464.1367L. doi:10.1098/rspa.2007.0347
A paper by Benestad and Schmidt concludes that "the most likely contribution from solar forcing a global warming is 7 ± 1% for the 20th century and is negligible for warming since 1980." - Benestad,, R. E.; G. A. Schmidt (21 July 2009). "Solar trends and global warming". Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres 114. Bibcode 2009JGRD..11414101B. doi:10.1029/2008JD011639.
