If you want to catch the other side on the global warming debate as well, there are a bunch of claims where I suspect the average liberals is overconfident. Maybe something like "Hurricane X wouldn't have happened without global warming". The IPCC report shows their confidence for various claims and it's likely something there to catch liberals.

Yes, something like that could probably catch some liberals, that's true.

Not unlikely at all. Try “There would have be many fewer hurricanes in the past 10 years without global warming” instead.

I said something like because I just want to illustrate an idea and not the suggestion in that form. It makes sense to a claim directly from the IPCC report instead of making up your own claim.
