For example, El Niño events can change global temperature by up to 0.2°C over a few years.

I've read this several times, and can't believe that any reputable scientist could state this without a thought.

Considering that the earth is a closed system and that the average world temperature is a function of a "heat in - heat out" balance how can any local weather effect change "global temperatures" in any way at all?

Sure, it could redistribute the energy and that in turn could change local temperatures, but for even decrease in one place there has to be an increase elsewhere.
