I would also observe that this data is uncorrected
for urban heat island effects (as cities urbanize they get hotter, and effect that is different than CO2 - cause global warming and is usually corrected for in global warming studies).
Whether the CET with its focus on the industrial heartland of England has been adequately adjusted
for Urban Heat Island as claimed is a question frequently asked of us.

for urban heat island effects.
In addition, he is correcting the data
for urban heat bias by the so - called population density adjustment.
Not only the public, but industry and every other country have accepted the science and the idea that emissions need to be reduced, so a rag - tag group of skeptics would have a hard time with making their case
for urban heat islands or whatever their current fad is.
I quickly saw the weakness of their treatment (i.e. lack thereof) of land - based stations
for the urban heat island effect (UHIE).
Many more flawed or misleading presentations of Global Warming science exist in the book, including those on Arctic sea ice thinning, correction of land - based temperature measurements
for the urban heat island effect, satellite vs. ground - based measurements of Earth's warming, and controversies over sea level rise estimates.
There are good explanations of this bias as well, such as failure to properly account
for the urban heat island effect.
This is relevant
for the urban heat island problem, because we have the same problem when comparing the urban stations to rural stations.
Furthermore, it is based on data that has been subjectively and manually adjusted, and it makes no allowance
for Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects.
By taking the estimate of 0.1 degrees C per decade and multiplying by 5 to get 0.5 degrees C, or 44 %, Geoffry Smith gets a rather larger figure
for his urban heat island effect estimate than he would from the more direct subtraction of 0.81 from 1.13 (0.32 degrees C, or 38 %).
The latter involves an automatic correction
for the urban heat island effect.
Not much room
for the Urban Heat Island effect there.
This leads to a massive over-adjustment
for urban heat island in summer, because the urban heat island in Moscow is mostly a winter phenomenon (see e.g. Lokoshchenko and Isaev).
Indeed, the NOAA has stopped correcting
for urban heat bias altogether, and their suface temperature record is diverging from other sources.
That should be compared with rural stations to correct
for urban heat island effect.
This raw data is analyzed using methods that account for the distribution of temperature stations around the globe and
for urban heating effects that could skew the calculations.
Since you can not explain why correction
for urban heating creates a warmer trend — and not a cooler trend!
In fact, they found that white roofs provide little benefit
for urban heating and may even cause a net warming effect.
A group of skeptical auditors wanted to make sure that when the UEA CRU surface record was putatively adjusted
for urban heating effects, that these effects were estimated robustly and that corrections were in fact correctly implemented.

heat waves are expected to become more severe, particularly
for cities, where concrete and a dearth of trees create what's known as the
urban heat island effect.
On the other hand, they say the city could grow even more resilient due to the ongoing efforts to reduce the
urban heat island effect —
for instance through programs to install reflective roofs and plant trees, as well as to protect vulnerable populations through
heat warning systems and the availability of cooling centers.

for these cities would be 2.6 times higher than previously thought.
Thus, wood burning
for residential
heating, and the resulted particle emission, may have a much larger impact on air quality in Norwegian
urban areas than previously thought.
If you take into account that virtually all the world's concrete and asphalt which causes the positive feedback of UHI (
urban heat island) was made after 1940 you could tweak up the model inputs
for solar and down
for CO2 and get just the same result
for surface temperature.
