It seems that global warming has been slowing down for at least the last 20 years. In other words, the rate of warming is less.
In addition, there are signs that the reason for the reduced GW rate is because global cooling is happening. "As we move further into 2020, solar activity dwindles. This year, solar activity will be marked as the lowest in over 200 years. The low in the sun's 11-year cycle will also have at least some repercussions for the climate here on Earth," ~snip~
You're right, solar activity is dwindling. But that has happened for over 35 years already, and for over 35 years temperature's been rising, therefore, the highs we experienced are not directly caused by the sun.
Here's an image that pictures that:

Krivova et al. (2007) and
PMOD).
Maybe in the past the sun was more significant, but studies have pointed out this has changed. Here's another picture:
Picture. The sources for this study are: Meehl et al. (2004), Stone et al. (2007), Lean & Rind (2008) and Huber & Knutti (2011).
There are, at the very least, 19 studies that point how the sun's influence in global warming is minimal.
You can check them here.
Also, what's your scientific and falseable source that global cooling is a thing? Because
quite a lot of studies converge into the idea there is none.

They are not. If you read the linked paper...
Singh, A.K., Bhargawa, A. Prediction of declining solar activity trends during solar cycles 25 and 26 and indication of other solar minimum. Astrophys Space Sci 364, 12 (2019).
https://doi.org/10.1007/s10509-019-3500-9Their assertions are not based on the Milankovick cycles, but on periodic sunspot activity and what climate has seemed to correlate with that in the past.
This of course cannot be an incorrect hypothesis. But one may argue whether the sum of cooling and warming effects leads to a net of cooling or warming, or whatever.
What I said above
PLUSThat article points for dwindling solar activity but it does not mention at all the implications it have for global warming. You're sort of forcing a correlation the author did not explicit. If he did, however, I'd like you to point it out to me - word-searching for "global warming/climate change/climate/temperature" didn't wield me any results. Lastly, I have serious doubts whether these guys are climatologists given they're analysing sun activity pattern, so it's not like their prediction of climatic impacts have the same validity as those operating in that field.

Lastly I would just like to point something that is extremely necessary for people to understand: the issue with climate change isn't that mankind will destroy the world or life on this planet. It won't.
The issue is that the biosphere & our human worldwide system are extremely fragile and susceptible to changes and even the most minute alteration will cause massive damage. And that's climate change - a measly, minimal alteration to the equilibrium. That, for Mother Earth and for life on Earth, isn't but a tickle (life always finds a way), but for our society & for the current ecosystems, it is massively destructive. And the exacerbated climatic catastrophes, the rising sea level that
threatens to engulf several islands, the
underwater animal migrations... they're all minute changes. But look at the impact they cause.
And besides, even if global warming isn't in fact caused by man, so what? The proposals for fighting climate change is essentially building a sustainable society decreasing consumption of renewable sources. How exactly is that going to be detrimental? Because, essentially, that's what
serious proposals for mitigating climate change talks about.
