Haha. All you guys make me laugh, speaking so definitively about climate change, as if you were experts on the topic. You remind me of blathering a Don Cherry, telling a national television audience before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final series that "There's no way Boston loses this game!"
Guess what Don. Boston did lose. And now you look like a buffoon, predicting the outcome of the event with such confidence. In reality, your predictions are a guess, with a 50-50 chance of being correct.
Maybe the global climate is changing due to human activity, and maybe its not. Scientists are formulating theories that will be proven or disproven over the course of history. But the debate will not be solved by a bunch of know-it-alls, spewing their opinions and invective through an on-line forum.
Sometimes it takes more courage and wisdom to acknowledge that you DON'T KNOW the answer to a question.
One more thing to consider — When asked about the existence of God, French mathematician Pascal said he couldn't prove definitively whether God exists or not. But he chose to belief in God's existence, based on the fact that the risks associated with denial (ie eternal damnation) were greater than the risks associated with belief (a commitment to worship and lead a virtuous life).

If climate change is real, then why are people building condos and homes in VC, NY, SF, LA, FL, SE? Shouldn't they be moving inland in case the ice caps do melt and swamp the coasts? Yeah because its all BS cash grab. If it were a real thing and real threat then we would be preparing for it. Progressive govts should be asking people in CA to move to Denver.

Actually Jazz, here is a good summary of all the models. Important thing to remember on predictions is how later policies change the climate as well. Things like banning halo gasses dramatically affect temps. While it's easy to say "Predictions are wrong" it's important to understand why they are off from predictions based on policy, social, end environmental changes. Had society never changed anything along the way, the models would have been accurate.
