Global Warming Basics

I have read an article that says: "if man-made global warming is real, it would leave a fingerprint in the form of temperatures increasing with altitude in the tropical troposhere portion of the atmosphere up to a hotspot about 10 kilometers above the surface. reflecting the pattern of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere." It continues,"the data from weather balloons show the opposite pattern: no increasing warming with altitude, but rather a slight cooling." They go further to say that satellites confirm the same data. How do the "global warming" scientists respond to this?? Sometimes I wonder if the "global warming" is due to something else. Some say solar activity (solar wind, sun spots, solar cycle length) causes the majority of our climate change. That does seem to make some sense. If that is not true, please explain the warmer periods which have existed in Earth's history. I want us to stop polluting and take care of the Earth because it's the right thing to do for future generations. Not because I'm following a potentially flawed theory.
