And it is especially pertinent to see such a warm year when the Sun is so quiet. What could be causing the warm weather?

Research it. A "quiet" sun refers to a period of reduced (currently near zero) sun spot activity and that causes a lessening of cloud cover which allows warming (less reflection from the white stuff).

I still don't accept your opening statement, but your put-down is rubbish.
