The reasoning behind this is that the major cause of urban heat islands is the reduced cooling that occurs at night when the «view to space» of the surface is blocked by buildings.

Then the most recent explanations from Rohde, Hausfather, and Mosher for Berkeley Earth adjustments seem to turn this issue upside down, arguing that their process for correcting the data is what results in the lowering of temperatures, not from recent years, but from early years when the urban heat island and corruption of surface station sites would not have yet occurred.

The calculation needs to filter out the changes that have occurred over time that are not climate related (e.g. urban heat islands), then interpolate across regions where instrument data has historically been sparse (e.g. in the southern hemisphere and at sea), before an average can be taken.

Having worked with many of the scientists in question, I can say with certainty that there is no grand conspiracy to artificially warm the earth; rather, scientists are doing their best to interpret large datasets with numerous biases such as station moves, instrument changes, time of observation changes, urban heat island biases, and other so - called inhomogenities that have occurred over the last 150 years.
