The term "global cooling" has a dominant usage in public discourse. So does the term "global warming".
These guys are trying to weasel out of having written what they've written by claiming the words they use don't mean what everyone else uses them to mean. Which is funny, because not knowing the language of your field is arguably a sign of worse ignorance than getting facts wrong in good faith after doing serious research.
These guys are pandering to the market for global denialism because that market buys books. Nothing wrong with that, but people who know their stuff are dead right to eviscerate them in the NYTimes because it's a bad faith pollution of the public discourse. So bring on the down-modding guys, I've got plenty to burn.
