Global Warming

Why isn't more being said in the liberal media about the fallacy of global warming? By this I mean, why isn't the real cause of global warming being discussed? Is it because it is not proper to discuss something that is NOT man made? Is it improper to place blame on nature?
The earth is warming, temps are increasing, it is true. So what is the cause? How about looking at the simplest, most logical and obvious answer. No, it is not man and America's selfish treatment of the earth with all of our smog producing cars, or coal burning factories, or hair spray. THE SUN IS GETTING HOTTER! It is a natural phenomena. It happens. Imagine that, nature at work.
From the Stanford Solar Center, we have this graph which shows solar activity versus climate:
From Live Science.com, we have an article that states:
A dramatic thinning of Earth's protective ozone layer above the Arctic last year was the result of intense upper-level winds and an extra dose of space weather, scientists said Tuesday.
...
In a new study, scientists conclude that an intense round of solar storms around Halloween in 2003 was at the root of the problem. Charged particles from the storms triggered chemical reactions that increased the formation of extra nitrogen in the upper stratosphere, some 20 miles up. Nitrogen levels climbed to their highest in at least two decades.
Hmmm...interesting. What about the thinning of the ozone layer over Antarctica?
The upper-level ozone layer has thinned dramatically in the Southern Hemisphere in recent decades, creating a dangerous hole through which UV rays stream. The decline is due largely to man-made chlorofluorocarbons released into the atmosphere.
The new study suggests a better understanding is needed of how the Sun itself alters the ozone layer.
"No one predicted the dramatic loss of ozone in the upper stratosphere of the Northern Hemisphere in the spring of 2004," Randall said. "That we can still be surprised illustrates the difficulties in separating atmospheric effects due to natural and human-induced causes."
The thinning of the Arctic ozone layer continues, owing in part to cold temperatures in the stratosphere, according to a separate recent study that suggests a northern hole could develop as a twin to the southern one.
Could the sun then be causing global warming? Have scientists focused too narrowly on potential man-made causes without even considering the potential natural causes? Is this indicative of environmentalists in general, to blame man first, find data to support that thesis, then do a media blitz on said thesis. Our media are only too happy to run stories that show us, the capitalistic America with our over consumtion of resources, in a bad light.
The flare spawned this coronal mass ejection, which hurled charged particles into space. The storm was one of 10 major solar eruption to occur in an unprecedented two-week span of solar storminess.
The most extreme solar flare ever recorded erupted on Nov. 4, 2003.
