Since you can't seem to find the name of my personal conspiracy on your own, the answer in the form of a question is:
What is the Beaufort gyre?
If you can't figure it out from there, then there's no hope for you.
The gyre is primed to cause another 1970s cool down starting anytime now and the longer it waits the worse it's going to be.

All the man made global warming believers wish the 1970s cool down was caused by man made soot particles. That means it probably wouldn't happen again.
But I have read that China and India are both individually making as much if not more soot pollution now than the US ever did and that it's only going to get worse before it gets better. So is America made soot that much more superior to the Chinese made stuff?

The grand solar minimum isn't here yet, but by 2050 it could be in full effect. One of the 11 year solar cycles is going to go minimum and stay minimum, several of the 11 year cycles just aren't going happen, or are barely going to happen.
The problem isn't the barely measurable drop in solar irradiance it's the lack of solar wind and the invasion of cosmic rays on the upper atmosphere, which causes high altitude cloud formation, which blocks the sun. Scientists are just beginning to be able to study this as large enough gaps in solar wind are happening for long enough and regularly enough to actually study the phenomenon.
Based on sun spot observations the 11 year cycles decline in activity then it just drops into maunder minimum. The sun appears to go from fairly reduced level cycles to nearly nothing in as little as 20 years. Problem is sun spot observations date back to the 1600s, just as the maunder minimum was already starting so no one can say for sure exactly when.
The maunder minimum not part of a slow, gentile, barely noticeable change like the Milkanovitch cycle, more like a stock market crash followed by a recession and recovery.
