Hoping for relief by the end of El Niño could be short lived. The latest La Niña years were among the hottest years of this century. And regardless on which stage of both we are now, positive feedback loops change baselines, every push forward reinforces their action to a new level, like less floating ice means more (dark) water exposed to sunlight and higher heating speed, and less ice formed in the next colder season, or that with hotter climate more permafrost thawed, and more greenhouse got released by that natural process over really vast areas. And it is not easy to fix something without affecting a lot more in a complex system, like is the global climate one (or the one that includes it, with human systems, ecosystems and so on). You push a simple change without considering the whole of it and it might or not change the single metric you want to change, but it probably will affect many others, that may take time to be noticed or us being aware of how important they are. And as we are coming from (and depend on) an stable system, any big enough push will move the system further away from that stability.
