Climate Change, Cooling, etc are all "common tongue" descriptions typically used by the media and then adopted by the masses. The term Climate Change was adopted because cooling carried the implication that the climate would just cool, and climate warming carried the implication that the climate would only warm.
News and politicians love simple catchy dog whistles.
The actual name is anthropogenic (man-made) climate change, and it predicts the climate will become more variable - not just warmer or cooler.
I understand what you are saying, I don't agree obviously. But, we each have to come to our own opinions. There are plenty of long-winded explanations here of why I have my opinion.
You have stated yours, I respect that even if it sounds like I don't in most of my posts.
