There's still a lot of work to be done in making useful predictions, however, which is why I think it's perfectly reasonable to say both «anthropogenic climate change is a thing» and «we still shouldn't take any drastic actions to combat it until more is known about the consequences».

A rational public and private sector response to the threat of storm damage in a changing climate must therefore acknowledge scientific uncertainties that are likely to persist beyond the time at which decisions will need to be made, focus more on the risks and benefits of planning for the worst case scenarios, and recognize that the combination of societal trends and the most confident aspects of climate change predictions makes future economic impacts substantially more likely than does either one alone.
