We know that the \href{http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/}{El Ni{\~n}o-Southern Oscillation} (ENSO)  is the main source of year to year temperature variability in the oceans. Through changes in winds and ocean currents it has the ability take up or release heat from the atmosphere.  It doesn't really change the long-term temperature but can make one year hotter (El Ni{\~n}o) or cooler (La Ni{\n}a) than the next. ENSO  occurs in the tropical Pacific but is strong enough to have a global influence.\\ We can take our climate model again but instead of assigning the   whole ocean temperature we just put in a "fake" El-Ni{\~n}o/La-Ni{\~n}a.
