    Then again

    "What difference would a grand solar minimum make in the amount of solar
    energy reaching us? Relative to current levels, the Dalton Minimum
    represents a 0.08% decrease, and the Maunder Minimum represents a 0.25%
    decline in solar radiation at the Earth's surface. That's how stable
    solar activity is. That's also why we're playing with fire by
    increasing the greenhouse effect so much and so quickly. We're
    threatening the stability of the climate that has been so favorable to
    our development."

    What you need is an actual data scientist, not a "curve overfitter".

    Then again, who says the world is cooling? Cold snap on US E coast?

    It must be sooo distressing for climate weenies the numbers are not
    showing a massive decline in global temperatures.

    Just out today were the RSS and UAH sat IR derrived temps for 2017
    compared with 2016 aka the world's warmest known year.

    J D
    2016 0.55 0.85 0.76 0.72 0.53 0.33 0.37 0.43 0.45 0.42 0.46 0.27
    2017 0.33 0.38 0.23 0.27 0.44 0.21 0.29 0.41 0.54 0.63 0.36 0.41

    No sign of a "big dip" yet.

    GHG beat sunspots.

    Adani's $1b loan bid likely to fail before Palaszczuk intervention
    ABC News, 05 Jan 2018
    Adani's bid for a $1 billion taxpayer-funded loan may have been doomed even before it was scuppered by Queensland's Palaszczuk Government, with the Productivity Commission saying it may have failed key criteria for funding.
