More likely without a comparison point

Hi,

Does "more likely" have to have "than" in the sentence?

Like He is more likely to have fun THAN his wife.

Or can I say something like "People in cold climates are more likely to drive SUVs." WHich may imply that pople in colder climates are more like to drive SUVs (THAN those in warmer climates)?

Or do I have to say something like "People in COLDER climates are more likely to drive SUVs"?

Thanks.
