Incorrect. While some of the more dire predictions have not come to pass, the data is still showing that the warming initially predicted by the models
is coming to fruition.
A new evaluation of global climate models used to project Earth's future global average surface temperature finds that most have been quite accurate.

So, you see, you are incorrect.
Well, you clearly don't really know much about the technical literature because you are still hung up on the "worst case scenarios" of popular press pundits. The possible outcomes INCLUDE the worst case scenario but also include things that will still be destructive to our economy and way of life, but in the end we really can't know.
Are you the kind of guy who buys a house and DOESN'T buy insurance? Do you drive around uninsured? No, you probably don't. Because you are RESPONSIBLE ADULT which means you take precautions against the worst case scenario.
That's what the climate scientists are telling us: we are in for change, we see it happening right now as predicted, and it MIGHT get very, very bad.
Well, for instance, your ignorance of the veracity of the climate models shows that you wish to deny that climate change has been seen. It has. Of course your debate point is very mushy so you can always dodge it by saying "It's not as bad as the worst case scenarios what I read in the newspapers!" And that would be true, but not really how the science works.
So, I say, denialists (especially the non-science regular Joe Internet Sixpacks) deny how basic science operates in preference to a cartoon strawman.
In summary: YES climate change is happening. YES it was predicted. YES it is bearing out to be true.
QED.
