Is it true that recent global warming is caused by changes in the Sun?
No. Extensive scientific evidence and modern climate attribution studies demonstrate that recent global warming is driven primarily by anthropogenic greenhouse gases rather than changes in the Sun, whose solar forcings have in fact declined in recent decades while temperatures have continued to rise.
