There is no room for complacency, Svalgaard warns: «If the Earth does cool during the next sunspot crash and we do nothing, when the sun's magnetic activity returns, global warming will return with a vengeance.»

We show that the index commonly used for quantifying long - term changes in solar activity, the sunspot number, accounts for only one part of solar activity (William: Closed magnetic field) and using this index leads to the underestimation of the role of solar activity in the global warming in the recent decades.

Your own 300 year long sunspot data (as well as those of Wang, Lean, and Sheeley) http://www.vukcevic.talktalk.net/TMC.htm also suggest that there is an (for some inconvenient) direct strong link between solar activity and the Earth's magnetic field change.

For example, the «Maunder minimum» in sunspot and solar surface magnetic activity coincides with the coldest part of the Little Ice Age, 1645 to 1714.

The strength of the magnetosphere is regulated by the sun (whose activity changes in synchrony with the planets), but perhaps the strength of the Earth's magnetosphere is also regulated directly by the gravitational / magnetic forces of Jupiter and Saturn and the other planets whose gravitational / magnetic tides may stretch or compress the Earth's magnetosphere in some way making it easier or more difficult for the Earth's magnetosphere to deviate the cosmic ray.
