1960 to [the] early 1980s but a significant decreasing trend afterwards,” which latter downturn
was concomitant with a warming of the globe that the world’s climate alarmists have long
claimed was unprecedented over the past one to two millennia.
Mean Annual Hail Day variations and trends in northern China, southern China and the whole
of China. Adapted from Xie et al. (2008).
Consequently, although climate alarmists continue to claim the world will experience more
extreme weather as the planet warms, this study clearly suggests -- as the three researchers
who conducted it conclude -- that, in China, global warming may actually imply “a possible
reduction of hail occurrence.”
In a slight twist on the Xie et al. study, Xie and Zhang (2010) focused their research on the
extremeness of hailstone size, noting that “changes in hail size are also an important aspect of
hail climatology,” and they went on to study the long-term trend of hail size in four regions of
China over the period 1980-2005, using maximum hail diameter data. Their work revealed an
uptrend in maximum hail diameter in Hebei, a flat trend in XUAR, and a slight downtrend in
both Guizhou and IMAR; but they add that “none of the trends is statistically significant.” And
