Part 2 of La Nina Is Not The Opposite of El Nino.wmv

Part 2 of this 2-part series illustrates why the effects of ENSO cannot be removed from the global surface temperature record by simply subtracting scaled and lagged NINO3.4 SST anomalies (or another ENSO index) from global temperature anomalies--this is how climate scientists misrepresent the effects of ENSO.

Also included are comparative animations of Sea Surface Temperature anomalies to other datatsets, including Precipitation, Lower Troposphere Temperature (TLT), Total Cloud Amount, and Sea Level anomalies.

The data is available through (and the maps were created using) the KNMI Climate Explorer:

So both La Nina & El Nino add a net warming to ocean heat.

Because of this, how would it ever be plausible to see general prolonged global cooling on a large time scale?
