Just a quick and dirty list. The supporting evidence are left as an exercise for the reader.
  1. Human emissions of CO2 are the sole driver of the recent global warming. 
  2. Clouds have a strong positive feedback.
  3. The recent global warming is unprecedented.
  4. The sea level is rising catastrophically!
  5. The sea level rise is accelerating!
  6. OMG! More and more hurricanes!
  7. The northpole is melting!
  8. The antarctic is melting!
  9. The [insert your favorite species] is dying!
  10. The [insert your favorite species] is negatively affected!
  11. We are all going to die!
  12. Climate change is the biggest threat to nature!
  13. Climate change is the biggest threat to humanity!
