There's nothing to "believe" in. It's a scientific fact. You can either choose to accept fact or remain willfully ignorant. That's the part which is up to you. The climate will continue to change. Besides, you would have to be downright idiotic to think that mankind could pull billions of tons of fossil fuels out of the ground and burn it with its by-products having no net effect.
The stupid posts are the ones attempting to equate scientific fact with a belief and then the disbelief that burning billions of tons of hydrocarbon based fuels will have no effect on the climate. The maps are based on theoretical, mathematical models. What kind of models are your "beliefs" based on?

The models fail to account for all the variables. I'm sorry, but none of them do. There are at least four or five other atmospheric chemicals besides carbon dioxide. There are solar variations, orbital variations, magnetic field variations, cloud albedo -- I'm sure that I'm missing a few, but this should give you at least some idea of what is missing from the models.
amount of evaporation that would occur given enough water. PET compared to precipitation indicates how dry the climate is.
