Did I see a (reliable) graph of solar activity being closely followed by the Earth's temperature, or am I imagining?

 

Imagining. Solar activity is one of the things that have been ruled out as a major cause.

The guy who runs the weather channel actually has a graph that shows it closely follows it.

Gives a good general idea and lots of links to respectable scientific articles saying pretty much that solar variation is clearly not the cause of warming in the second half of the 20th century. I don't know what data your graph follows or what the sources are or anything.
