lots of panic-button alarmists don't like to acknowledge the role of Los Ninos (El Nino and La Nina) in the climate fluctuations they claim are global warming.

I agree. However, as discussed many times, a huge amount of emphasis is placed by the skeptics on the 1998 El Nino, because that was the warmest year (globally, by far) ever recorded. My profile has a back-of-the-envelope calculation which demonstrates that based on the current warming trend, the global temperature of 1998 wouldn't be expected, based on the TREND, until about 2013.

Yet skeptics still claim that the globe is cooling because it hasn't gotten warmer than 1998. So who's not acknowledging the role of El Nino in this case?
