Hi-  keep in mind that the qualifier "La Nina-like" is important. This doesn't mean perpetual La Nina.  It means that the trend in sea surface temperature and sea level pressure is toward a stronger zonal gradient across the tropical Pacific, which is considered "La Nina-like."  But my analysis is certainly not unique on this issue and many, many others have published on this.  I especially like recent papers (here and here) by Richard Seager that confirms this tendency.
