Generally, the remaining uncorrected effect from urban heat islands is now believed to be less than 0.1 C, and in some parts of the world it may be more than fully compensated for by other changes in measurement methods.4 Nevertheless, this remains an important source of uncertainty.The warming trend observed over the past century is too large to be easily dismissed as a consequence of measurement errors.

It is a much more difficult situation if ~ 40 % of the global warming signal is simply an artefact of the Urban heat island effect.

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 %).

For example, the UHI (Urban Heat Island) effect warms cities more at night than during the day... so obviously CO2 is not the only possible reason for night - time warming.

We do not need any more land stations, just better configuration of those which are used, to avoid bias and urban heat island effect.

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.

Urban Heat Island profile Image from Lawrence Berkeley Labs From the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON Spring comes sooner to urban heat islands, with potential consequences for wildlife Urban - dwelling plants around the globe typically get a head start on the growing season compared to their rural counterparts because of the urban heat island effect, the phenomenon in which cities tend to be warmer than nonurban areas due to their plethora of built surfaces — made of concrete, asphalt and more — and scarcity of vegetatHeat Island profile Image from Lawrence Berkeley Labs From the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON Spring comes sooner to urban heat islands, with potential consequences for wildlife Urban - dwelling plants around the globe typically get a head start on the growing season compared to their rural counterparts because of the urban heat island effect, the phenomenon in which cities tend to be warmer than nonurban areas due to their plethora of built surfaces — made of concrete, asphalt and more — and scarcity of vegetIsland profile Image from Lawrence Berkeley Labs From the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON Spring comes sooner to urban heat islands, with potential consequences for wildlife Urban - dwelling plants around the globe typically get a head start on the growing season compared to their rural counterparts because of the urban heat island effect, the phenomenon in which cities tend to be warmer than nonurban areas due to their plethora of built surfaces — made of concrete, asphalt and more — and scarcity of vegetatheat islands, with potential consequences for wildlife Urban - dwelling plants around the globe typically get a head start on the growing season compared to their rural counterparts because of the urban heat island effect, the phenomenon in which cities tend to be warmer than nonurban areas due to their plethora of built surfaces — made of concrete, asphalt and more — and scarcity of vegetatheat island effect, the phenomenon in which cities tend to be warmer than nonurban areas due to their plethora of built surfaces — made of concrete, asphalt and more — and scarcity of vegetisland effect, the phenomenon in which cities tend to be warmer than nonurban areas due to their plethora of built surfaces — made of concrete, asphalt and more — and scarcity of vegetation.

So we need to focus more on adapting to the effects of global warming — for example, by stepping up efforts to cope with inland flooding and the urban «heat island» effect.

Air temperatures, in contrast, behave more conservatively, so one has to be careful when extrapolating the thermal effects of surface heat islands to the atmosphere.
