Who really sits around and worries about climate change?

Holy shit, you are still alive.

sure I am still alive as I take care of this old body..actually those were baseball size hail but it was a scary time and just another proof that climate change is very real and we should be very concerned about it. Not that we should worry every minute about it. But it needs to be addressed more seriously.

You won’t be around in 50 years either.
Well, I’m not the one saying “we,” now am I?

. You won’t make it past 90.
My maternal great-grandmother lived to be 94, which is incredibly rare for somebody born in the 1880s. My maternal grandmother lived to be 96. My maternal grandfather lived to be 85.

I’ll take my odds over yours, especially since you’re 15 years older than me.
 
Based on this it doesn’t seem bad hail storms are getting worse or more frequent. Appears there were fewer in the last decade than previous decades.

I don't think cost/damage is the proper way to track hail activity.

Or really any other weather event. There is frequent criticism of the Enhanced Fujita Scale ratings of tornadoes because it is based on damage indicators. But some of the most powerful tornadoes haven't hit shit as far as structures go and were much stronger than the rating. See the 2013 El Reno tornado, wind speeds measured by Doppler on Wheels at 295 mph, but "only" rated EF-3.


The largest hailstone recorded was 8" diameter, 18" circumference ,and weighing TWO POUNDS...after considerable melting before being recorded And that's just the largest recorded in that storm, many were recorded at 6". Vivian SD, July 2010, population 95. So in monetary damages, nothing much and not on that list. Had that storm happened over a large city it would have been catastrophic.

The fact is, the worst supercell events are often over sparsely populated areas, because that's just how the Plains is.

If I am bored tonight I will research deeper for occurrences of large hail per year. But I'm going to the casino, so no promises. But even this method will have biases, as there are far more spotters and chasers today to actually see and record these events, and Dual Pol Doppler radar has also been a game-changer verses the past. 75 bBZ? We know the hail is destructive sized, even if no one is there.

I lived the big hail balls. Well, my old iroc did, it got pelted. Couldn't turn it in because the insurance company would've totaled it and I don't want a R-title on it sucks ass. Damn climate change to hell!

Last week my '24 Silveraydo ZR2 with under 3K miles got a fuhkin trampoline wrapped around it causing $5K damage because of a wind storm. What in the hubs of hell are you asshole liberals going to do about windstorms?!?!? I WANT JUSTICE, DAMMIT!!!!!

I can't stand having a trampoline in the backyard. Every damn time it's going to storm with high winds, I have to drop the safety net poles and drag it over against the tall hedges to keep it from flipping.

Of course, there's the hassle of moving it to mow every week.
 
I didn't know you lived in Kansas 🤣 Seriously, storms out here are a different breed.
No I live in Kentucky and I corrected that to baseball size hail. Still never heard anything like that hitting my roof. Anybody who does not believe in climate change by now is just not very smart.
