so, do no sun spots cause La Niña ? or will the gathering La Niña add to the cold ?
La Nina is when the deep oceans warm. The intensity of the La Nina tells you how cold the deep oceans have become. El Nino is when the deep oceans cool. The intensity of the El Nino tells you how much cooling is occurring. Visible solar energy entering the Oceans only varies slightly. Almost insignificantly. The long term warming and cooling trends are determined by how much visible solar energy is absorbed by the oceans (La Nina), verses being blown off into space (El Nino). Actually a simple energy flow process when you understand it. But simple is a relative term and apes eating bananas in trees tend to be egocentric.
