Nobody has every claimed that we are making the sun hotter. This demonstrates that you really don't understand the problem. The problem is that the heat from the sun is being trapped here. As an analogy, my house stays pretty cool even on hot days without the need for air conditioning. As long as it gets cooler at night, it stays pleasant during the day. But if it stays hot at night, it doesn't get a chance to lose the build-up of heat from the previous day and it gets more unpleasant as after day. The days are not necessarily hotter, but the accumulated heat energy means that each successive day has a larger affect.

Some people say the problem is that the heat from the sun is being trapped here while others say there is no human solvable problem as there is a natural cycle of climate change due to sunspots and that no amount of human activity is going to change that. Documentary reference is here on this very subject.

Of course this documentary goes into detail that water is an even greater greenhouse gas than CO2.
