Always with the passive aggressive bullshit, you never change. Sounds like you're unaware of the PDO, El Nino and La Niña interactions.
Changes in the relative frequency of El Nino and [FONT=DDG_ProximaNova]La [/FONT][FONT=DDG_ProximaNova]Niña[/FONT] events are tied to changes in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, PDO.
When the PDO is positive as it was from circa 1975-2000 El Nino’s dominated which led to global temperatures increasing. When the PDO is negative as it has been for most of this century [FONT=DDG_ProximaNova]La [/FONT][FONT=DDG_ProximaNova]Niña's [/FONT]dominated and there was little if any warming, and even some cooling, as happened in the previous negative phase of the PDO (1945-1975).
What causes the PDO to change from positive to negative (or vice versa) is not known. If scientists don’t know what drives these changes then they can’t possibly predict what it will do next.
The cause of PDO is known. It is normal variance of the equatorial counter-current. Some years it flows freely, in others it gets pinched off by the equatorial currents. It is not warming or cooling of the ocean. It is simply where the warm water from the equatorial counter current winds up (either western or eastern Pacific).
It changes each year as the Sun passes the equator. It's like trying to predict the weather. The winter cycle (for Northern hemisphere) is the one typically used by the press.
El Nino events are marked by a split in the jet stream, where the southern stream crosses straight across Southern California, the deserts, and the Southern U.S., bring with it more rain. The deserts bloom in such years. Grasshoppers in the desert get water to breed as well, creating locust colonies further north. Washouts are more common in these areas, mostly due to poor building codes and poor road construction, and the thin topsoil in the desert. Hurricane season tends to more calm as well, as the split jet stream cuts the heads off of tropical storms before they can develop into a hurricane.
La Nina events are marked by the jet stream swinging further south more often, as low after low crosses the Pacific Northwest. Typically more snow is common in these years in the NW, due to exposure to the Fraser River offshore breezes (what we call 'Chinook' winds).
Northern California also tends to see more snow, again caused primarily by offshore winds (what they call 'Santa Ana' winds).
Neither means the Earth is warming. It is simply where the warm waters from the equatorial counter-current wind up. A similar equatorial current pair and an equatorial counter current occurs in the Atlantic, but this smaller ocean has limited effect, and mostly on Europe.
The PDO has been around long before anyone bothered to measure it. El Nino (or the Child) typically felt it's presence in mid to late December in Mexico (along the Pacific coast), when fishing was diminished due to warm water snuffing out the usual nutrient cold water rising from below. Colder water appears in the western Pacific, near Australia, causing some of the coral to die off. No worries...it recovers in a year or two.
La Nina is the exact opposite. Warm water builds up on the western Pacific, leaving nutrient rich cold water rising by Mexico, along with abundant fishing.
