The climate is never in equilibrium. Just in the last 1000 years we've had the Medieval maximum, the Little ice age, and now we're in a warming cycle again. On larger time scales you have major ice ages and interglacial warms. Evidence is increasingly showing solar activity is correlated with these changes.
