It seems wise to avoid the term "global warming" since many people will assume that everything gets warmer. Many areas will become colder as the overall average temperature of the planet increases. Hence the term "climate change."
A cold winter in one city or a warm winter in another place really is anecdotal, as they don't tell you much about the long-term trend.

Don't forget that in the 60's the concern was a coming ice age.
