On a global scale. La Nina has a generally cooling effect, El Nino, a warming effect. We have had a long period without El Nino, and despite that have been having record high temperatures.

The previous highest global temperatures before the recent past was 1997 and 1998 – strong El Nino years. That heating on top of the current trend could be really nasty.
