In a paper entitled “Recent progress in studies of climate change in China,” which was published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, Ren et al. (2012) present an overview of some of the more salient findings of recent years that pertain to this important subject.

Most basic of all their findings, the seven scientists report that China’s surface air temperature (SAT) rose by only 0.3 to 1.2°C over the past century. And tempering even this modest finding was the fact, as they put it, that “climate warming was more evident in winter and spring than in other seasons,” and that “the warming trend in summer was found the weakest almost everywhere.” In fact, they indicate that “in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River basins, the summer mean temperature even dropped slightly.”
