There is extensive evidence for a sun-climate connection.

Historically yes there is - but not for the current phase of GW. Satellite studies have shown conclusively only a minute change in the Sun's output over the last 2-3 decades. Refer to the IPCC reports for scientific fact on this.
However, curious at your seemingly impressive list of references to support your case I glanced down it and guess what ? we find the names Soon, Baliunas, Milloy (of Junkscience fame), Patterson - all well known contrarians whose theories have been debunked by the mainstream science.
Added to your list are many media articles which probably 2nd generation pieces from the flawed Solar / GW theorists. And then we have the usual crackpots from outside the mainstream Climate science fields.
Worried that I may have indeed been mistaken all along, I looked intensively at reference #6 in your first list attributed to the Guardian. (The Guardian publishing something so heretical ?????). What do I find ? Actually it's a letter from a reader. And guess who ?? why it's our old meteorologist crackpot Piers Corbyn.
I need say no more on the this topic.
As regards Nancy Oreskes' research, you are living in a parallel universe.
The deniers did try some time back to cast doubt ( their favourite tactic) on her research methods but their arguments were blown out of the water comprehensively. By your own printed admission, Science magazine refused to print Benny Peiser's 'research' - probably because it was so flawed it didn't get through initial peer-review.
