your claim seems to be contractory. Exacerbates would seem to me that it plays at least a "marginal" role in driving the disaster that is taking place.

Browning says there is another factor to consider. “We’re seeing much warmer than normal waters from the west coast of California all the way to Alaska.” Browning says. “We haven’t really seen that in other El Nino’s. This is not a direct effect of El Nino , it’s more of a direct effect of global warming and climate change.” “It’s going to be interesting to see how this will effect this El Nino.”
