Here's an idea: Do climate change skeptics think that there is no chance that the planet's getting warmer, and/or that the activities of mankind are behind it? If they think there's a chance, is it 1-in-2? 1-in-5? 1-in-10?
If you can get a number (let's use 1-in-10), ask them if they'd put a ten-chambered revolver with one random bullet in it to their head and pull the trigger? Or, more appropriately, their children's heads.Unfortunately, rather than wake most "skeptics" up, this kind of analogy will simply make them deny that the planet is warming.
