Using a global climate
model, a team led by Princeton University researchers measured how severely
heat waves interact with
urban heat islands, now and in the future, in 50 American cities across three climate zones.
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.
Future topics that will be discussed include: climate sensitivity, sea level rise,
urban heat island - effects, the value of comprehensive climate
models, ocean
heat storage, and the warming trend over the past few decades.

He rewrote Wikipedia's articles on global warming, on the greenhouse effect, on the instrumental temperature record, on the
urban heat island, on climate
models, on global cooling.
@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 raw data is largely reliable based on the error reduction capacity built into the
modeling to reduce anomalous readings of
urban heat island effect and other station and / or measurement anomalies.
Heat Island Effect Neglible In Overall Warming, And Skewing Climate Models The study also examined the urban heat island effect — something which climate skeptics cite as invalidating evidence of warming — and found that it had a «nearly negligible» effect on the overall warming tr

An examination of
urban heat island characteristics in a global climate
