A scientist in Denmark named Henrik Svensmark has developed a very interesting theory about the effects of cosmic rays on cloud formation and hence global temperatures. In short, it seems that cosmic rays produce aerosols in the atmosphere which result in the formation of clouds. Further, it seems that solar storms may disrupt the flow of cosmic rays into our atmosphere and hence reduce the amount of cloud cover, thus resulting in additional heating of the earth.
This theory apparently came about after Henrik's manager noticed a strong correlation between solar activity and global temperature:
For those interested in this theory, here is a 53-minute documentary about it:
