We could have avoided this, but, you refuse to give more of your hard-earned money to the government to give to NGOs, er, warlords in 3rd world shitholes, er, governments in developing nations which has zero strings attached
During severe thunderstorms, rising air shoots icy pellets the size of Dippin’ Dots ice cream into the bitter cold of upper atmospheric layers. There, supercooled water freezes onto the small particles to form hail, which then falls when it gets too heavy for the storm’s upward draft.
As climate change warms average global temperatures, hailstones larger than pingpong or golf balls will become more frequent — likely worsening the weather hazard’s already billions of dollars in annual property damage across the country, according to a study published last year in the scientific journal npj Climate and Atmospheric Science.
“Climate change is obviously occurring,” said Victor Gensini, a meteorologist and professor of atmospheric science at Northern Illinois University who led the study. “The question, for scientists, is often: How does that manifest itself (in) these smaller-scale extreme weather perils?”
Yes, global warming is occurring. Mostly natural, just like previous Holocene warm periods.
Insurance companies have reported rising hail damage claims from homeowners due to severe storms. In 2024, roof repair and replacement costs totaled nearly $31 billion across the country, up almost 30% from 2022, according to an April report from Verisk, a risk assessment and data analytics firm. Hail and wind accounted for more than half of all residential claims.
Yes, because there are more homes and buildings, and the cost of the buildings has skyrocketed post-COVID.
Using a model with high-resolution mapping offered researchers new, more granular insights into the future of individual storms and their hazards compared with the data that traditional global models produce, which Gensini characterized as coarse and grainy.
So, they gathered a limited amount of real world data and then fed it into their handy dandy doomcomputers? Huh.
We had a hailstorm from hell this spring that led to roof replacements all through our neighborhood. The homes here are some 70 years old. Car damage too!!
So let’s be sure and build as many giant solar arrays in areas that will be getting these larger hail storms…like the one that was decimated in Nebraska, contaminating the soul beneath with heavy metals and other toxins…along with now delivering ZERO electricity.
It’s a conundrum, isn’t it? Burning fossil fuels to generate electricity is causing greater damaging hail storms, which can damage solar panels intended to reduce damaging hail storms!!!
So, how can a model, making assumptions about the future, cause greater damaging hailstorms now? It’s a f*cking mystery..

Chicken Little said: “Damaging, golf ball-size hail will fall more frequently because of climate change!!!”
Where’s Foxy Loxy when you need him?
I also wonder about the impact of other factors:
1. 50% Biden inflation. Raises the price of everything. If the added price is under 50%, then it is actually decreasing, aside from the weight of democratic party policies.
2. Biden immigration policy adding 10-15% to the US population, thereby raising the price of housing. Thereby raising the price of insuring housing.
Voting for democrats is much more harmful than climate change.
A commenter:
Did the population really increase by 34 to 51 million people between 2021 to 2025? And no one can detect it?
Even the right-wing, anti-immigrant, Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) estimates only 11.5 to 12.5 million legal and illegal immigrants settled in the United States during President Biden’s illegal reign (Trump Won)!!
A huge, new subdivision was built less than a mile from here in a wooded area formerly owned by a cemetery. The sign said new homes from $450,000! It’s doubtful that “illegals” were in a bidding war for those homes.
Why ain’t you just a font of misinformation this morning?
Another day of Rimjob and his own peculiar insight.
Nothing changes.
