  As far as I can tell no domain expert thinks that is an actual issue. You are at this point wondering if a magnetic activity event MIGHT occur in the future that then MIGHT have some indirect effect on clouds that then might impact global warming substantively. We might also get a supervolcano eruption which would cool things for a while!

    It all depends on who you call a domain expert. That is a political (in the general sense), not scientific, term.

  Really frustrating that this is still the argument presented by skeptics. The Suspicious Observers community has been debunking the solar radiance theory for years. Looks like the next major disruption in science is coming concerning whether the sun is gaseous or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A7VFVwAA5U&t=0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A7VFVwAA5U&t=0s

  Some people have this weird idea that anthropogenic global warming is just a bunch of data simulation that will crumble like a house of cards if only we could find the right reason for why the temperatures are changing... Every steps of how mankind's activity leads to increased CO2 level to increased infrared absorption to increased temperature is very well understood. If for some reason science discovers yet another source of global warming, that won't be what you fancy it would be. It won't disprove AGW or absolve us of our responsibility. Instead, it will be an "Oh shit, we are truly fucked" moment. I have a hard time understanding why some people are attracted so much to this possibility. ...Heh, who am I kidding. I know perfectly well why.
