Wow here's a good paper if anyone can be bothered reading it:

You have to subscribe to read it (yes, I'm nerding out on climate change), but it explains quite well why the climate models have not been particularly accurate. Basically, because despite the huge increases they've had in research and computing power, climate scientists are still just as unable to predict climate sensitivity to Co2 as they were 30 years ago.

Very telling....We're not as clever as we think we are.

 

Are we clever enough to make another habitable planet on short notice in case this one goes to crap? 

That's just my POV on this, if you only have one pair of pants, you probably don't want to shit your pants ... or get ketchup all over them or whatever. If that's just common sense, why is to so different for a planet? Until we can colonize/terraform other planets we probably should err on the side of caution. 

It's fairly obvious why the climate models are crap, first the margin of error in them is enormous, secondly, they can't even simulate water vapour and clouds to any degree of accuracy, and worse still, is even with decades and decades of data the models can't even back check to any accuracy. The models are utter shit.

Also the following link highlights the futility of atempting to reduce global CO2 emissions, as the largest emitter (I refuse to use the word pollutant, CO2 is not a pollutant and it's not negative to health), China, simply doesn't give a fuck and is only interested in economic growth, of which the cheapest dirtiest coal helps the most with, and with China acting in such a way, do you really think that India, the third largest emittor, is going to give a shit and not try and shortcut their way to western prosperity?
