Water Vapor to unpredictable so they omit it from their equastions.

But that isn't true. It's not omitted AT ALL -- the positive water vapor feedback in GCMs is a fundamental part of them. Were it not for the positive water vapor feedback, it would not be possible to predict global warming above 1-1.5 degrees C for doubled CO2. (And not that the positive water vapor feedback for a long time was a theoretical construct that has only in the past couple of years received observational confirmations.)
