The current secular change in global temperatures cannot be accounted for any (and in fact flies in the face of several) of the cosmic/geological mechanisms you cite in that post. That is probably the most compelling reason we know it's anthropogenic. It is happening on a temporal scale that none of those mechanisms operates at, and in the opposite direction to many of them.
But thank you for a fairly comprehensive list of most of the mechanisms that earth scientists have explored and rejected to explain what we are currently experiencing.

In other words, if we don't know what it is - then it's being caused by man-made global warming
Oh, and....
If it's too rainy - it's man-made global warming
Not rainy enough - it's man-made global warming
Too hot - it's man-made global warming
Too cold - it's man-made global warming
Too much snow - it's man-made global warming
Too little snow - it's man-made global warming
Too normal - it's man-made global warming
Not normal enough- it's man-made global warming
Birds fly south - it's man-made global warming
Birds fly north - it's man-made global warming
All of this is being completely driven by one thing, and one thing only, man-induced CO2, and nothing else.

Really? Got some actual information on that because Svensmark disagrees with you.
You do realize that we are just coming out of a period of extremely high sunspot activity over the last 50 years (the period that directly coincides with the Modern Warming Period)?
You do realize the last 17 years of no additional warming also coincides with a slowing of Sunspot activity?
