If you were to put a mean line through that data I suspect that it would show a falling off of the rate of increase over the last ten years or so. I am quite happy to accept that as there has been a marked decrease in solar output over the present sunspot cycle. According to some solar scientists we should be in a cooling period of a 180 year long solar cycle which includes the Maunder and Dalton minima.
The fact that there has been no actual cooling, only a slight reduction in the rate of warming, points to a more significant problem than we realise. The variation in the sun's output must have an effect on the earth's temperature if only a minimal one. Global warming advocates shouldn't be afraid to acknowledge this.

As you say, variations in solar output have a minimal impact on temperatures. My understanding is that the reduced rate of increase seen in the last 15 years is largely attributable to ENSO.
But the warming has not paused. We are bang on trend.
It's quite amusing to see the desperate floundering over the 2014 temperature record going on in the denialosphere at the moment. They're rapidly running out of arguments.
