16. I think the deniers will crack under the evidence

climate change predicts "unusual" weather and, although we have already seen record temps, I think the second a denier encounters a weather phenomenon that can't be attributed to seasonal patterns, something that just goes totally against our knowledge and historic memory of Earth's climate behavior, then they will finally start to question themselves. But they have to see something weather wise that they never expected to see and totally freaks them out. An unusually hot month is not going to do it because, within the realm of weather, that is still something that has been seen before. They have to see something that has never been seen before, something like a miracle. Something like three feet of snow in the sahara or a 120degree day in new england. Something that makes them say "Okay, now that's not normal."
