You are also sharing disinformation as well. You say climate change, but you do not define it.
Many people are aware of El Nino / La Nina and that they cycle roughly 7 years. What most people don't know, is that there are cycles that occur every 25 years, and more that are even longer than that.
Now consider when those cycles happen to coincide, there is an increased change until those cycles move back out of sync.
Yes there is climate change, but a large majority of it is out of yours or anyone else's control.
For anyone stumbling onto this who actually wants to be educated, the science has practically unanimously agreed that climate change is mainly caused by human activity. No expert is unaware of the cycles that temporarily affect climate. They are well studied, modeled, and found to pale in comparison to human-made climate change. You can find comparisons between human and natural drivers, with sources from expert organizations and scientific studies, here and here. Funnily enough, the NOAA, which this commenter used as a source for El Niño and La Niña below, also hosts this article which literally starts by linking to a page that points out how climate change is mostly caused by humans.
Turning egypt into desert wasn't caused by human factor, it was caused by change of earth axial rotation https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/green-sahara-african-humid-periods-paced-by-82884405/ and it happened within less than 2-3 centuries. Far more drastic than what we see alleged by "human greenhouse gas emissions". It's all well documented that natural causes can be far more drastic than whatever we do on earth ( several degrees in global earth scale ). And no, climatology is not united around the greenhouse gas effect at least not about alleged scale. Cycles around 20k, 40k, 100k years are not unheard https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/green-sahara-african-humid-periods-paced-by-82884405/
El Niño / La Niña are terms that the uneducated just learned about but pretend have always been common knowledge only because it’s something to desperately grasp into to “explain away” climate change.
It’s no different from the logic behind the same people who say “Climate change can’t be real, it was cold out today!”
Well apparently you don't understand it either. My point is that there are opposing weather patterns that occur over larger periods you are unaware of.
It's only you grasping to at insults to have your cringe whinge because someone doesn't believe in your opinion.

Get bent.
Oh I fully understand it, which evidently you don’t or you’d understand why that has nothing to do with the absence of climate change. You could try educating yourself but… you won’t. If you did that, you’d lose your what in mind is an anti-climate change silver bullet and then you’d have to spend even more energy finding another one.
What I have isn’t an opinion it’s just an object fact, so you should just bend yourself.
In case anyone needs an example, here's one
you forgot to work in sunspots too, they always pretend that it's sunspots as well
