What? Of course we should! It is of course partially caused by humanity. But it’s a common debate among researchers exactly how much the trends are affecting the changes.
It's a legitimate question, but I can't tell if you're wondering whether we have significant influence on it at all, or if you are just wondering what fraction the solar cycle being at its maximum ~now (iirc) and other such effects are (which I imagine is no more than a few percent, since previous ones are not immediately apparent in the visualization of the previous 10k-odd years (https://xkcd.com/1732/); or even if we're only a tiny fraction on top of nature's mechanisms, that's apparently 'that much' too much greenhouse gases)
The Solar Cycle is approximately has a period of ~11 years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle). The heating clearly shown in these visualizations does not appear to be related to the solar cycle.
