Is there any correlation between these cycles and earth temperature?

This seems to suggest yes?

And would something like El Nino be included in this effect or is it separate?

Don't get me wrong - the earth has obviously been getting warmer for a long time now. But the narrative on the cause of recent high temps seems way over-simplified.

Yes, but not well understood, and not, global warming has nothing to do with it.

Anything that monotonically goes up over the last 100yrs currently correlates with the earth's average temperature, unfortunately. A 11yrs cycle does not seem to fit that criterion.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

But that doesn't earn you a lot of clicks...

In a cosmic timescale, it's practically instant.

Yeah but if it flips every 11 years and takes 5 years to flip that's got a little less of the "about to flip" flavor to it.
