Study projects larger hailstones as climate warms (opens in new tab)

A new study says global warming is likely to make large, damaging hail more common. Storms producing hail larger than a large marble are projected to increase by 38% to 47% by the end of the century, depending on future heat-trapping emissions. Science News described the work as a global model showing that climate change could make hailstones larger and more damaging in many regions. The researchers linked the projected increase to more high-energy, unstable air as fossil-fuel-driven climate ...
