There will be two events than may sway the skeptics. The first one will be an extended heat wave exceeding heat index temperatures of 55C (35C at 80% humidity) resulting in massive casualties, probably somewhere in a humid climate with an overloaded electrical grid and/or poor access to AC. The second one will be when the skeptics themselves die.

Needless to say, I am not very optimistic about getting climate change under control.
