The link isn't clear at all, and the graph actually seems to show a closer resemblence of CO2 and Temperature than Temperature and the sun. You're also putting your chips in, on a climate/geologically related topic, on a graph stretching back 140 years.

Sulphur cools the atmosphere. That's why you can get volcanic winters, for example. The only problem is that sulphur is usually produced in concert with CO2 - and sulphur doesn't stay in the air remotely as long as other greenhouse gases.
I'll paste in this gfx.
Now ask yourself: is it more reasonable to believe that the rising temperature dictates the levels of greenhouse gases, or that the greenhouse gases dictate the temperature? This is besides all of the other, complete data we have.
