"FactFinder", if you'd checked your scientific facts, you'd find that no study has successfully concluded that the sun accounts for much of the trend. If anything, solar was higher in the 1940's, and the global average anomaly back then was lower.
SL, the essentials can be "settled" (meaning strong theory in science) but there are usually ranges to be narrowed and other refinements to be made, especially when it comes to challenging regional climates. These projections also consider factors that are somewhat dynamic, including human activity.
The rest looks like (willful?) ignorance of the literature, which doesn't suggest those things should have already occurred, but does suggest we're setting the stage for them now. Case in point: The previously discussed polar bear. A poster animal to be sure, when ecosystems are a bigger concern, but it seems that the science discusses a future threat to the species as Arctic sea ice reaches critical levels. Meanwhile, some populations have gotten a boost from hunting controls. Little details...
