I'm not sure what people mean when they say environmentalists have gone from calling it "global warming" to "climate change."
For starters, it has been that way for 2 decades now - it's not some "sudden" thing. And everyone who understands climate even the smallest bit knows that it IS global warming, but that leads to more extreme weather events, including extreme cold & snow.
I think environmentalists started switching to "climate change" (years ago) because they realized poorly informed conservatives would always see cold weather events as "proof" that global warming doesn't exist. Because that's all the right cares about - they don't want to have an honest conversation about the health of our planet. Ever.
