Right now, 2022–23 is too far away to predict using climate models. There are three periods of three-year La Niña in the historical record, but also three periods where El Niño followed two-year La Niña, so there is no overwhelming historical prediction, either. Finally, most scientists think that El Niño will continue to occur despite global warming, but it's a complicated subject, as Tom discussed.
