You should be able to use typings.d.ts as described in https://github.com/angular/angular-cli#3rd-party-library-installation with the following content:

declare var global: any

Before I was checking my ng cli project I followed the link to the repo provided by @filipesilva and the 3rd party section isn't there anymore. However that's not an issue because it used to tell you that you should create a typings.d.ts in your src directory which fortunately ng new creates for you anyway.
So TL;DR; just go to src/typings.d.ts and add the declare var global: any to it.
