There are quite a few reasons to believe that the surface temperature record — which shows a warming of approximately 0.6 ° -0.8 °C over the last century (depending on precisely how the warming trend is defined)-- is essentially uncontaminated by the
effects of urban growth and the Urban Heat
Island (
UHI)
effect.
But isn't the
UHI effect something other than this «microscale variability» that would be evident at a regional, spatial scale as a «hot spot» for instance (thus the urban heat

The Urban Heat
Island Effect (
UHI) is a phenomenon whereby the concentration of structures and waste heat from human activity (most notably air conditioners and internal combustion engines) results in a slightly warmer envelope of air over urbanised areas when compared to surrounding rural areas.

Island»
effect (often abbreviated to «
UHI effect»).
Even the most pronounced warming, evident from the cities of Hobart and Melbourne, is within what could be considered natural — though the trends shown here are likely to be artificially exaggerated by the method of measuring temperature since 1996 ** (electronic probes) and the urban heat
island (
UHI)
effect.
I see you wrote 6 paragraphs about your supposed climate «skepticism» arising from the urban heat
island effect, but I see not a single word of explanation about why the
UHI effect would turn a non-warming trend into a warming trend.
Unlike Al Gore Kristen Byrnes personally checked out the locations of many of the official thermometers that are improperly sited and corrupted by
UHI (Urban Heat
Island)
effects.
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.
The Urban Heat
Island Effect Has Hopelessly Corrupted the Land Thermometer Data... substantial average
UHI warming occurs even at low population densities, about ~ 1 deg.
Although he doesn't actually come out and say it, Evans suggests that the global warming trend in the surface temperature record is an artifact caused by the urban heat
island (
UHI)
effect:
Has the
UHI effect in a city got steadily warmer, or has the area that is affected by the heat
island expanded but the magnitude of the
effect hasn't changed.
The urban heat
island (
UHI)
effect on temperature records is one such impact that the IPCC keeps trying to minimize but the actual science keeps refuting the IPCC's agenda - driven science.
When it comes to climate change, QTIIPS stands for, Quackery and Tautologous Ignorant Ideological Professional Sorcerery, which explains in part why the Urban Heat
Island (
UHI)
effect even exists...
@Mike Edwards: There are lots of studies — hundreds, at least — of the urban heat
island effect, and quite a lot of effort has gone into identifying, quantifying, modelling, and adjusting for the
effect of
UHI on global temperature records.
The thermometer network is made up of a patchwork of non-research quality instruments that were never made to monitor long - term temperature changes to tenths or hundredths of a degree... Furthermore, land - based thermometers are placed where people live, and people build stuff, often replacing cooling vegetation with manmade structures that cause an artificial warming (urban heat
island,
UHI)
effect right around the thermometer.
Because they live and work in highly urbanized areas that have the necessary attributes that cause a positive temperature feedback - often referred to as the Urban Heat
Island effect (
UHI).
Our
UHI paper analyzing this indicates that the urban heat
island effect on our global estimate of land temperatures is indistinguishable from zero.
-LSB-...] cities, the Urban Heat
Island effect, or»
UHI».
In other words,
UHI * is the value of the urban - heat -
island effect if wind were not reducing it by replacing warmer air with colder; and NSTI * is the
effect of the near - surface temperature inversion if the wind were not mixing up the air near the ground with the air a little higher up.
Secondly, as Steve Milesworthy points out, to explain Parker's null
effect, you have to change from an Urban Heat
Island (
UHI)
effect to a Suburban Heat
Island (SuHI)
effect, or rather to an Urban - embedded - in - Suburban Heat
Island (UeiSuHI)
effect.
3) While there seems to be some residual Urban Heat
Island (
UHI)
effect in the U.S. Midwest, and even some spurious cooling with population density in the Southwest, for all of the 1,200 USHCN stations together there is little correlation between station temperature trends and population density.
Whereas perhaps only some of the corruption is result of demonstrable fraud and incompetence, the ubiquitous
UHI (Urban Heat
Island)
effect is pervasive across the land - based temperature record (which itself is telling of a wilful and purposeful deception on the part of the climatist community).
I've seen little evidence of a proper discussion or understanding of the
UHI or the natural heat
island effects with respect to accurate measurements and post-measurement adjustments.
Thanks to the authors we get to see the ugly
effect of the Urban Heat
Island (
UHI).
* The Urban Heat
Island effect (
UHI) had the potential to greatly distort the readings of individual stations.
It also highlights the issue related to the Urban Heat
Island (
UHI)
effect.
It is on the Urban Heat
Island effect (
UHI) that his observations become especially pertinent to modern day conditions.
I'd give it better than 50 - 50 that talking about surface temperature without at least a footnote to
UHI — the Urban Heat
Island effect — says a lot more about the lack of integrity of modern climate research that anything else.
Until Phil Jones provides the underlying data, neither you nor I know how much an
effect the
UHI islands are making.
The fact that warming is greater in the northern hemisphere, over land, and at night, is more clearly consistent with urban heat
