More La Nina years?

La Nina has brought a particularly cool and wet early summer to my part of the world this year; the west coast of Canada has hardly seen summer yet. Looks like La Nina may be sticking around, unusually, for a third year running. More importantly, some researchers are forecasting a lot more La-Nina-like conditions in the future, thanks to climate change impacts in both the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. That could mean more floods in Australia, more drought in the southern US, and more cool temps for me.
