Everyone does indeed know who the bamboozled climate change deniers are and you are one of the most retarded among them.
Your moronic denier cult OP is a great example of anti-science reality denial at its most insane level. Most of what you list are actual facts and are indeed true. That you imagine that acceptance of those facts, which are affirmed by the world scientific community, makes some one a "denier" of your denial of reality is absolutely hilarious, as well as absolutely insane.
1. The atmosphere, the oceans, the land surfaces and the ice have all continued to warm for the past 17 years.

2. Antarctica is melting and losing ice mass at increasing rates.

3. Some of the melting in West Antarctica is being caused by a warming atmosphere and some is the result of the warming ocean waters.
Soaring Temps in West Antarctica May Fuel Sea Level Rise
Temperatures in West Antarctica are have increased by 4.3°F over the past 50 years or so, according to a new paper released Sunday in Nature Geoscience. That increase is far more than scientists have thought, and nearly as much as the 5°F rise on the nearby Antarctic Peninsula, the fastest-warming region on Earth. ...On bigger, colder East Antarctica...even a significant temperature increase wouldn’t push the mercury above the freezing point. In the west, though, the ice is already somewhat unstable since much of it sits on land that’s below sea level. Relatively warm ocean currents have already started eroding the ends of glaciers from below, allowing the ice to flow faster toward the sea. On the Antarctic Peninsula, meanwhile, ice shelves have abruptly collapsed, and in this case, much of the damage has come from meltwater on the surface. “Melting does bad things to ice shelves,” Bromwich said in an understatement. The scientists found that winter and spring temperatures rose the most over the 50-year period they studied, but summer temperatures rose as well. Most of the time, they didn’t quite get above freezing, but Bromwich said, “we’ve seen some years when satellites have showed extensive melting” — something like the surface melting seen last summer in Greenland, where temperatures year-round have always been significantly higher than in West Antarctica. “The point is that the closer you get to freezing, the more likely you are to cross that threshold,” Bromwich said.
4. At least 97% of climate scientists are "in agreement with the notion that warming is due to manmade CO2", with a slightly lower percentage of the general scientific community also in agreement.
Consensus: 97% of climate scientists agree

Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities,1and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources.
5. Many, not all, of the current climate models, while not perfect, do indeed fairly accurately represent the climate of the Earth.

6. In spite of your crackpot anti-science denier cult myths, climate models very accurately "model the behavior of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere".

7. CO2 is insentient and does not "decide" to do anything, retard. Over the last decade or so the oceans have been absorbing even more of the accumulating heat energy held inside the atmosphere by the rising CO2 levels.

8. It is a scientific fact that rising CO2 levels are causing the current abrupt warming trend observed over the last century and particularly the last four decades, and that this manmade CO2 caused warming is indeed responsible for the increasing number and severity of climate "disasters".
Steady Increase in Climate Related Natural Disasters
AccuWeather.com - November 15, 2013
The incidence of natural disasters worldwide has steadily increased, especially since the 1970's, according to a report from the New England Journal of Medicine.
Geophysical disasters include earthquakes, volcanoes, dry rockfalls, landslides and avalanches. Climate-related disasters include hydrological events such as floods, storm surge and coastal flooding, while meteorological events include storms, tropical cyclones, local storms, heat/cold waves, drought and wildfires.
The number of geophysical disasters has remained fairly stable since the 1970's, while the number of climate-related (hydro-meteorological) disasters has greatly increased. As a result, the amount of economic damage due to these natural disasters has seen a steady upturn. There were three times as many natural disasters between 2000 to 2009 compared to the amount between 1980 and 1989. A vast majority (80%) of this growth is due to climate-related events.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the scale of disasters has expanded, owing to increased rates of urbanization, deforestation, environmental degradation and to intensifying climate variables such as higher temperatures, extreme precipitation and more violent wind/water storms. The report goes on to say..... natural disasters, particularly floods and storms, will become more frequent and severe because of climate change.
