If the current long term warming was due to the solar cycle, then the upper atmosphere wouldn't be cooling, it would be warming right along with the lower atmosphere (the troposphere).
But the fact that above 50k feet it's actually getting cooler (while the surface is as warm or warmer as it ever was) is proof positive that less radiant heat is is making it's way to the upper atmosphere because it is being absorbed by increasing levels of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
It's simple chemistry and physics... but hey, if you wanna make it a political argument, it'll just make your side look like idjits in the end.
