If the Sun was the cause of Global Warming, temperatures in both the lower atmosphere (troposphere) and the upper atmosphere (stratosphere) become warmer. Instead, observations show the pattern expected from greenhouse gas effects: Earth’s surface and troposphere have warmed, but the stratosphere has cooled.
The stratosphere would get warmer if the Sun was involved because the ozone layer absorbs its ultraviolet light; more ultraviolet light during solar maxima (when the Sun is brighter) means warmer temperatures.
