Some members of the Russian Academy of Sciences say we may be at the start of a period like that seen between 1790 and 1820, a minor decline in solar activity called the Dalton Minimum. They estimate that the Sun's reduced activity may cause a global temperature drop of 1.5C by 2020. This is larger than most sensible predictions of man-made global warming over this period.

This prediction was probably based on the expectation that Solar Cycle 25 would be the first major weak one. Not Solar Cycle 24, which is now developing as a weak one. So the estimate of a 1.5C drop by 2020, will probably now occur much sooner then expected.

I haven't seen a SINGLE, "SENSIBLE" prediction of MANMADE gloBULL warming yet!
