We can compare CO2 and global temperature during this period...
2000 years of comparing datasets...
"Solar energy received by the Earth has... no net increase since the 1950s. Over the same period, global temperature has risen markedly. It is therefore extremely unlikely that the Sun has caused the observed global temperature warming trend over the past half-century"
Wait for it... 140 years of global temperature compared to carbon dioxide trends in 6 seconds.
We cannot blame the sun for our abruptly changing climate.

Here we go...
To quote @NASA: "The amount of solar energy received by the Earth has followed the Sun’s natural 11-year cycle of small ups and downs with no net increase since the 1950s. Over the same period, global temperature has risen markedly...

We are looking at temperatures 15-20 °C warmer than normal in Northern Siberia for consecutive days.
Wildfires continue to rage and sea ice continues to deplete.

Not just Siberia with a heatwave right now.
Some of the hottest parts of Canada right now are within the Arctic Circle. Recently + 33 °C was recorded at Bathurst Inlet (Nu) at latitude 66.8 ° N.
Here are the observations from the weather stations. Likely hotter just to the east of this reading. This is about 20-23 °C above normal for this area.
Strong high pressure is just sitting over the Arctic and this is far from ideal.
24 hours of daylight combined with anomalous warmth on top of mostly clear skies is optimal for depleting the already record low Arctic Sea Ice coverage...
As of 13 July 2020, we were about nearly 2 *Million* km² below the long term average. You could pretty much fit France 🇫🇷, Germany 🇩🇪, Spain 🇪🇸, Italy 🇮🇹 and UK 🇬🇧 in this gaping hole.
