Correct. See attached UAH graph. This is mainly because of the decreasing Feynman sunspot cycle. It's expected to start its warming cycle in several years. In the meantime, the Feynman cycle is riding on top of the warming Bray and Eddy solar cycles, which have been warming the earth since the Little Ice Age - and are expected to continue warming the earth for a few more hundred years (after the Feynman cooling cycle ends). However, the Bray and Eddy solar cycles are riding on top the Milankovitch Cycle, which started its ice age cooling trend 7,000 years ago - which in the end - will take us into the next ice age era - as it has done 44 times in the last 2.5 million years. There are other sun-driven cycles in play, but it gets complicated.
