Because the "global cooling" moniker was already used in 1970 by pre-Gore-ish doom and gloomers that noted the earth was globally cooling and we were entering a new ice-age. Can't use a de-bunked term (much like the debunked "global warming"). Oh, I know . . it's "Global Climate Change" - Not!
I think this is a great thread. Thank you for all of the contributions.
Somebody still does not get the difference between climate and temperature.

You're right...lots of people attributing bad weather to global climate change:

Actually what you experience is not global darkening/lightening but rather local darkening/lightening. This phenomenom is a result of the earths rotation as it orbits the sun. The various surfaces of the earth are exposed to the sun's light in cyclical patterns.
You, my friend, are an idiot.
Your sarcasm alert system needs fine tuning.
We dont call it "global cooling" because corporations can make more money with the global warming baloney than with a global cooling baloney. And the sheepeople believe whatever corporations and their lackies in government tell them.
Since temperature measurements are not accurate, assessments of whether a given year is warmer than another is meaningless.
But, thanks for playing.
Global warming is the biggest load of crap. The only people who believe in this myth are the same people who believe in organic foods being healthier, & the world ending in 2012.
An entire man, made out of straw! We'll call it a straw man!
Do people believe Al Gore fights to be at the climate change forefront because he truly cares about mother earth or is it because he knows it's going to make him super rich?
Or just ego. The man does have a psychological complex named after him.
They did, in the 1970s. Everybody forgets about that.
If experts call it "climate change" and the weather is cold, they are correct.

Name change solved.
2010 tied with 2005 for the warmest year on record OVERALL since temperature record-keeping began in 1880. No, it does not mean we are not going to have winter anymore. Global warming model also predicts more storms whether they are huuricanes or blizzards, more precipitation since increased temperatures mean more water evaporation, more water vapor in the atmosphere... which comes back down again as rain or snow. Or is that too complicated?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..
The rolling blackouts now being implemented in Texas and across the country as record cold weather grips the United States are a direct consequence of the Obama administration’s agenda to lay siege to the coal industry, launch a takeover of infrastructure under the contrived global warming scam, and help usher in the post-industrial collapse of America.
Planned power outages conducted by utility companies have caused outrage amongst officials at four major hospitals in Texas, at Parkland, Baylor, Methodist and Presbyterian Dallas.
“Because of the sensitive life-saving equipment, hospitals are considered “critical care facilities,” and supposed to be exempt from rolling blackouts,” reports CBS 11. “That’s exactly what Presbyterian Dallas was led to believe. “We were of the understanding that hospitals and other critical-care providers were not supposed to be affected by planned outages,” said hospital spokesman Stephen O’Brien.”
As well as hospitals, nursing homes, fire stations, police stations, other emergency response facilities have also been hit with outages as demand soars due to freezing temperatures.
Many places in Texas now rely on Mexico to supply their power.
“Mexico’s state electricity company on Wednesday started supplying electricity to the US state of Texas, where demand shot up amid unusually cold temperatures and caused power outages,” reports AFP.
Hospitals are supposed to be exempt from the blackouts which hit yesterday, with power company Oncor attributing the outages to a “mistake,” but there were no such mistakes when it came to supplying power to Cowboys Stadium. The government has ensured that the blackouts will not affect Super Bowl venues, a decision that has left residents furious.
Even as China and Mexico are allowed to build dozens of new power plants every year, the United States is barely permitted to construct a handful, as the Environmental Protection Agency takes control of refineries and power plants under the completely fraudulent pretext of preventing global warming even as the country experiences some of the coldest weather seen for decades.
I don’t know much about Obama’s green agenda - but I do know that China's coal consumption in 2010 was 3.2 billion metric tonnes!
They obviously have no reservations about pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.
But as a supposed ‘emerging country’ - they can get away with it.
Without electricity - you’re back in the stone-age.
Global Warming has allowed freezing Arctic air to seep down which has resulted in massive snow storms and freezing weather all the way down to Atlanta and Dallas. This is permanent and will be happening every December/January for as long as we live. Get used to it.
