i do not see how that is related to your previous statement. the magnitude of energy capture is less than models predict. that does not support your assertion that solar cycles are a cause of anything and the fact remains that solar irradiance has fallen while meteorological measurements show temperatures have risen.
as for your link, how about we read what the actual scientist has to say rather than heartland?
The previously unexplained differences between model-based forecasts of rapid global warming and meteorological data showing a slower rate of warming have been the source of often contentious debate and controversy for more than two decades.
in other words - not warming as fast as models predict, but still warming at an unprecedented rate.
