I would suggest comparing peak to peak average temperature captures during weighted El - Nino events (during the time they occur, if they can be compared equally this would be a telling graph), instead of considering year to year records as a means of reducing ENSO effects on the temperature record, ENSO being largely a heat exchange between air and sea causing great changes in cloud distribution world wide.

In fact, all climate models do predict that the change in globally - averaged steady state temperature, at least, is almost exactly proportional to the change in net radiative forcing, indicating a near - linear response of the climate, at least on the broadest scales.

For example, we could describe climate change primarily in terms of the physical processes: carbon emissions, the radiative balance of the atmosphere, average temperatures, and impacts on human life and ecosystems.
