Is it true that La Niña is associated with cooler global temperatures?
Partly. Several sources describe La Niña as a cold event that can push global temperatures down or produce cooler regional extremes, while one regional study notes record high temperatures during a La Niña season. The evidence covers regional and year-to-year effects rather than a settled global association.
