The more I know, the less I know.
Seems to me this belongs in "General" instead of news.
If by "warmenistas" you mean ill informed politicos, maybe. But if you mean scientists supporting the theory of anthropogenic effects as the primary cause of recent warming, I think it's highly inaccurate to claim they never believed solar variation was behind past climate change. For example, the IPCC says:

For example, the IPCC says:
IPCC AR4 FAQData correlation and model simulations indicate that solar variability and volcanic activity are likely to be leading reasons for climate variations during the past millennium, before the start of the industrial era... These examples illustrate that different climate changes in the past had different causes. The fact that natural factors caused climate changes in the past does not mean that the current climate change is natural. By analogy, the fact that forest fires have long been caused naturally by lightning strikes does not mean that fires cannot also be caused by a careless camper
