That's because the Sun's cycle is already built into the system. Sun cycle plus new human input equals new equilibrium point. The altered part of the equation is human activity.

I agree those "stories" are BS. Just as every cold snap is claimed to be disproof of global warming is total BS. Humans operate on emotion before logic. Rhetoric is very effective in swaying emotion but terrible for analysing a complex science issue.
