- Heartland Institute Research Fellow Linnea Lueken explains the urban heat island effect, which often gets left out of the discussion when people are claiming temperatures are breaking records. The urban heat island effect has a big non-climate related influence on official temperature measurements that are always running hot.

The blue propaganda box disagrees.
You can block the box with u-block-origin extension.
yt is very proud of their propaganda blue boxes.
I pronounce it pro. Pagan. Duh.
Already at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the English knew that the cities were warmer than the countryside, and that was before there were four-wheel drive cars.
Yes true & you don't need to be a rocket scientist to notice this. Whenever I go into the countryside away from the city I notice a difference in temperature during the day time & it always feels cooler. Yet we have far more cities & large towns now so it will be far worse than before.
@@leialee6820 In the cities it might be problematic, but the cities are not representative of changing the climate on earth. If you look at Japan, they are quite densely populated with about 75 percent of Japan being completely unpopulated.
@@klimatbluffen You have it wrong. It is the UHI effect and the distorted average temperature readings arising from it that are being claimed as evidence for man-made climate change. The peaks of the temperature chart haven't increased in 50-170 years when CO2 was as low as 290ppm. Where I live 43.2C in 1923. CO2 isn't driving the top line and UHI is driving the bottom line. The claimed average means little e.g. the UK MET office announced that May was the "hottest" May since 1850. People didn't even notice because it was so cold last month that they were busy trying to keep warm. It was not hottest or warmest, but the highest - average, a figure not significant to most people.
@@yasi4877 We know that 1930 was the warmest period since the The Little Ice Age and then the co2 levels were at 300 ppm and at that time we had malaria in Sweden which is a tropical disease. Then the co2 levels rose to today's level of 420 ppm and it got colder and Malaria disappeared. It is not the carbon dioxide levels that control the temperature, it is the temperature that controls the carbon dioxide levels. Fifty million years ago, the co2 levels were 7000 ppm, today If they are at 420 ppm and when we reach 150 ppm, all life on earth is gone..
@@klimatbluffen Some good points there. If logic and truth about this subject was respected, the media and climate change alarmist industry would have little to talk about. Recent temperature spikes in Delhi and Sindh in Pakistan were highlighted as evidence of a climate crisis. Delhi is a large city that bakes in summer with an inversion layer that exacerbates the UHI effect, trapping heat which builds by day until a change arrives. In winter it traps pollution and smoke from stubble fires which accumulates in the atmosphere for days at a time to the detriment of public health. They should report it this way rather than try to assign cause to CO2 etc.
Thank you. Reality and honesty is very rare when "climate change" is in the mix.
I recently bought an over the counter weather station and installed on my back fence, about 50 feet from my house and not near any concrete or asphalt. It is one of those small plastic housed systems. I assume the vented plastic housing is supposed to mimic a Stevenson Screen and protect the electronics from direct sunlight and therefore inaccurate temperature measurements. I guess not! My analog thermometer is attached to my fence and is protected from the sun at all times. The readings from the weather station are always warmer than the analog readings and by a lot first thing in the morning when the sun comes up. This morning the radio said we are 5 degrees C, my analog thermometer says about 2 degrees C and the weather station says we are almost 12 degrees C. Obviously the sun is heating up the weather station housing. Or maybe the company that built the weather station likes to make hockey sticks! I’m going to move the station to a shady location and see what happens.
That's a lot of difference 10C. I shall look forward to hearing your new data recordings in due course.
Wow! (And I don't mean that in a good way.
A stephenson screen (or similar) requires a wind speed of (I Tkink) 15 mph for 'accurate' measurement, otherwise they heat up internally more than the surrounding environment, rendering all measurements on low wind or calm days inaccurate. Also bear in mind the accuracy of a wet bulb thermometer (in lab conditions) is +/- 0.48 deg C
Last year in the UK the Met office made a big song and dance about a temperature record. The weather station is based on an active RAF station quite close to the main runway. As well as housing two combat ready squadrons it is the training base for Typhoon pilots. Modern fighter jets are inclined to produce some fairly warm exhaust gases on take off but of course that would not have any effect on the output of the weather station would it. It has also been suggested that the actual 'high' temperature only lasted for around 6 minutes but that wouldn't stop them from reporting it.
No it certainly wouldn't stop them reporting it! 😂😅🤣
[citation needed].
@@hosnimubarak8869 UK Met office figures on their website for highest temperatures of 2023. Station location Coningsby. Station location co-ordinates place it in the middle of an RAF base. Google Coningsby RAF base and the description of the activities at the base are as specified.
@@hosnimubarak8869 Uk Met office website list of highest temperatures 2023 are stated as Coningsby. Co-ordinates provided place the weather station near the centre of the Coningsby RAF base. Google the RAF base to confirm the activities that take place there.
It appears that I am not permitted by YT to respond to
@hosnimubarak8869 but all of the information is on the UK Met office website including the co-ordinates for the weather station location.
Exactly right. While an attempt is made to adjust for UHI in global and regional averages, there are no corrections made to station record high temperatures - giving an entirely misleading impression that a urban station's high temperature record is strongly influenced by global warming. Studies have shown that Phoenix has seen an increase of over 3 F in the last 40 years, almost all of that from the increase in UHI seen because of a doubling of their population.
There isn't many good things about cities. I've always told people that cities are the main problem for most of the world's problems.
Love your work Linnea. I would add that the the urban heat island effect was first investigated and described by Luke Howard in the 1810s, when London became the first modern city with over 1 million inhabitants. Prior to the industrial revolution, cities of this magnitude were rare because of limitations in agriculture and transportation. By the 1850s American cities had replaced English cities as the largest and most industrialized.
The late comedian, George Carlin, whilst pretending to be a radio announcer, said "The temperature at the airport is 93 degrees, which is crazy, because I don't know anyone who lives at the airport." Thanks again, Linnea!
Accidently On Purpose.
*accidentally. Why have you started every word with a capital?
@@markfox1545 Because it drew your attention.
Bringing immigrants and refugees from a warm country to a cold country only increases their carbon output by about 20 times?
I've always enjoyed a walk in the Australian bush in the cooling air under the trees.
In a time when many announce the "end is near" is good to ear some real knowledge! I don't know how your channel isn't banned and you sent to Siberia but I'm very glad you exist! Keep up the good work!
Another example, during winter, if there has been a slight frost overnight, if you've parked your car outside your house, often, its the side away from the house that gets covered in ice.
I love my heat island. Growing crops way past the regional temperature seasonal limits.
Since 1950 almost every of our 1000+ weather stations are located at airports. In my city we have two airports the smaller being incorporated in a subdivision city. When you measure the difference of what they are reporting and your urban back yard they are always 1+ degrees warmer! My state’s official weather information is collected by computer mini stations located in a farm field in every county that active farms. These stations measure temperature and
humidity etc every 5 minutes. There are always a measurable difference when compared to the airport readings!
1:38 " This isn't to say that ther's no NATURAL warming..." Love it!
Thanks, Linnea. I was never taught this, but I felt this way years ago.
Linnea, here in the UK, the hottest reading "on record" of 40.3C was measured at Coningsby. It happens to be an RAF station and was recorded shortly after 3 jet fighter aircraft took off. Slightly behind was St. James park at 40.2C in London. The urban heat island effect.
I've monitored and witnessed this myself. I live app. 60 miles south of Atlanta, GA. Night after night I was comparing the temperature between my rural area and Atlanta. I estimate at night Atlanta on an average is 9° warmer. I've also heard that if they throw out any data from large cities. The increase in temperature is cut in half of with the urban areas. I believe there's approximately a 1.3 centigrade increase in temperature over the last one hundred years.
Where I live now there is a small village just down the road a couple of miles which regularly clocks record breaking heat in the summer and record cold in the winter simply by being where it is. If they want to find these temperatures they can easily find them.
Thank you for very important information that explains how concrete and Black Asphalt and metal structures all absorb much more Heat from the Sun then green grass, Fields and forested areas. This effect really must stand out in Very Large Cities like Los Angeles.
To combat the Urban Heat Island effect, one can install a Planetary Air Conditioner. Okay, it's mirrors on your roof, which increases your albedo. Works better than painting your roof white because you can scrub the glass clean. You have to do this periodically because the glass runs cold, and will condense water long after the rest of the roof is dry. This causes dust to stick to the glass of the mirror. No, rain doesn't rinse the residue.
Rather than asking what is your carbon footprint, ask what is your heat footprint.
In the winter you should cover the mirrors. Because heat island effects save on heating bills.
@@petersteenkampEven easier: skip the fall cleaning. The mirrors cover themselves.
LOL! There is no climate crisis, no warming outside known historical climate variation, so why even bother?!
@@jimmoses6617
Search for this "National Geographic, What is global warming, explained". Or "Smithsonian, rapid warming" Or "Scientific American, climate change".
@jimmoses6617 temperature on the mirrors are up to 50°F lower than a black roof.
Do it for home cooling. Your electric bill will be lower in the summer whether it makes any difference to the world's atmospheric heat ballance.
It's amazing how cooling air doesn't penetrate buildings, adds to the heat effect just a tad.
Thank you for reiterating something I have said for years. Yes our cities are hotter because of this effect but they still occupy a very small percent of the Earths surface make up so the true temp rise is far less
Pick out some common maps that show how the settlement has grown. And then you try to find out how measurement points have been adapted to the building. They still measure the temperature from an old airfield outside Gothenburg in Sweden, thirty years ago the airport was out in the countryside and now it is in a densely built-up area.
Average 'Murican is hobbled by the seriously Inadequate education 'system'..
Was taught about heat Islands/effect in grade 11..... 40 years ago.
Well said. Most western countries have let their remote stations fall into disrepair in favour of the city based units. I have a good old fashioned mercury thermometer mounted correctly outside and it often reads 4 to 5 degrees different to the temps being claimed by the weather (climate grifters) reporters.
Which is why I planted lots of trees and shrubs about my property. Ride a motorcycle in the city, but then ride it near or in a wooded area. Feel what I am talking about.
I wonder what effect the increasing desertification of the arid zones has on temperatures downstream of wind and weather.
For example the denuded (due to overgrazing) Sahara desert region causing heat and dust/sand to travel as far as central Europe.
Snow fields on Switzerland's mountains often turn dark reddish-brown towards spring time, possibly causing the snow to melt faster.
Take a ride on a motorcycle and go from the city to the forest and this effect will become quite apparent, especially on a day where it is just warm enough to ride without a jacket.
I live in the country, when I go to the city it's alot hotter than where I live and our city only has 79000 people. My little country house boasts a population of 496 people.
I like this gal ! Watch her whenever I see her videos !
Just walking along the highway proves asphalt holds more heat than the surrounding grass, etc.
In the UK the built airport runways over them ;)
But temperatures have risen in rural stations too.
Large solar farms also create "heat islands" directly effecting local climate...Above some of them birds die in flight from the heat.
Don't think asphalt affects the weather, go up into your attic in July.
(Northern hemisphere)
It's cold in SE Australia right now. Al Gores DVD An Inconvenient Truth isn't entirely useless after all, it makes a nice little fire.
That's why they are using them for their lies
The heat island effect is not ignored or left out of scientific research. It's factoring in. Not only that, but global temperature is not a direct temperature reading. It's an amalgamation of land, ocean and air temperature 'change' over a given time frame.
So even if heat island temperature is hotter, they're not measuring it directly. They're measure the change in temperature. Which very similar to temperature change elsewhere.
No it is not,NOAA has a temperatere data set C.R.N (climate reference network) which is temperature collected from 'Pristine' rural sites throughout the USA so eliminates UHI, rather than guessing what it is, that data set shows no trend in temperature over the life of the dataset (about 20 years)
@@shanecollie5177 For one, CRN is the U.S. only, not global. And two, it's only been running for 20 years. The point of my comment was to point out that this video incorrectly assumed research ignored UHI and that global warming is caused by UHI instead of fossil fuel burning Co2 emissions!
The fact of the matter is that even if UHI isn't factored in, it has no effect on Global Average temperature!
Given that the Heartland Institute is funded by the fossil fuel industry, it's not surprising that they produce videos loaded with such nonsense!
@@House_Stark But according to hadcrut and all of the alarmist media the usa is supposed to be the 'hottest ever". Also willie soon and his colleauges have taken global surface temperature data and removed all urban sites, the result showed warming to be half of what is reported. Given that over half of ground based temperature stations are urban, of course their over inflated temperatures effect the 'measured' global average temperature, because half the data is contaminated with artificial heat.
@@shanecollie5177 *"willie soon and his colleauges (sic) have taken global surface temperature data and removed all urban sites, the result showed warming to be half of what is reported"*
And where did they publish this research? How did they filter and adjust their data given they're removing data from a data set that depends on averaging the anomaly over a given time period? Did they compensate for the lack of Surface Air Temperature (SAT) station data compared to the original data sets? This is important context to know given the shear amount of data needed to calculate global average temperature!
If I average out air and sea surface temperature from 200 stations, then remove 40 of them from a specific set, of course the average will go down! 🤦♂
Most are located at airports because pilots need accurate weather conditions continuously.
Cue the climate zealots.
STOP CRYING ALL THE TIME
Cute little description of thermal mass effects. It does NOT explain why night time low temps are rising twice as fast as day time highs way out in the country far away from any urban influence. The aerosol canopy that is continuously dispersed in our sky daily, globally is trapping heat in. If "they" would stop such practices, that would be a good start to cooling the planet "naturally".
We call it weather.
Water vapor in rural areas due to agriculture and irrigation, which the crops radiate at night, makes air more humid thus holds heat longer.
@@jimmoses6617 I live 2,000ft above and 50 plus miles away from anything that gets irrigated, including lawns. So what's holding the heat in 'here'? Your statement does not address the aerosols being dispersed daily, globally.
@@randywl8925 The aerosols being mechanically dispersed at high altitude is weather? "Interesting"....
@@randywl8925
It sounds like you don't know the difference between climate and weather.
From my own studies and calculations:
To convert gigatons of carbon (GtC) to gigatons of CO2 (GtCO2), we use the molecular weight ratio of CO2 to C, which is approximately 44/12.
Photosynthesis: 120 GtC × (44/12) ≈ 440 GtCO2
Ocean Degassing: 90 GtC × (44/12) ≈ 330 GtCO2
Soil Respiration: 60 GtC × (44/12) ≈ 220 GtCO2
Plant Respiration: 60 GtC × (44/12) ≈ 220 GtCO2
Fossil Fuel Emissions: 10 GtC × (44/12) ≈ 37 GtCO2
Updated CO2 emissions Summary 2023:
Photosynthesis: 440 GtCO2 per year 35.28%
Ocean Degassing: 330 GtCO2 per year 26.47%
Soil Respiration: 220 GtCO2 per year 17.64%
Plant Respiration: 220 GtCO2 per year 17.64%
Fossil Fuel Emissions: 37 GtCO2 per year 2.97%
~Total: 1,247 GtCO2 per year 100%
Conclusion and observation:
Natural emissions of CO2 eq are 32.7 times larger than anthropogenic emissions.
I have a serious question, does the annual increments considers 2.5 ppmv include all sources?
Since manmade or anthropogenic contributions are only ~ 2.97% of the total earth’s emissions, this results from Net Zero CO2 are wrong or at least confusing, since the stupid absurdity of reducing absolutely "all" anthropogenic CO2 emissions will refer exclusively to that ~ “2.97%” therefore the reduction of the total earth atmospheric temperature will reflect an infinitesimal change only relative to that minuscule manmade percentage.
Unless all natural emissions and forcing remained univariable... which will never happen.
Soil and plant respiration has a seasonally variability of up to ~50 %, this variability alone is 17 times greater than all anthropogenic emissions (Coal, Gass and Petroleum) combined.
Conclusion:
The estimated yearly temperature -changes- due to each source of CO2, based on their radiative forcing contributions, are as follows:
• Photosynthesis: 0.365°C
• Ocean Degassing: 0.275°C
• Soil Respiration: 0.185°C
• Plant Respiration: 0.185°C
• Fossil Fuel Emissions: 0.030°C*

Abstract
Using feedback-free estimates of the warming by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and observed rates of increase, we estimate that if the United States (U.S.) eliminated net CO2 emissions by the year 2050, this would avert a warming of 0.0084 ∘C (0.015 ∘F), which is below our ability to accurately measure. If the entire world forced net zero CO2 emissions by the year 2050, a warming of only 0.070 ∘C (0.13 ∘F) would be averted.
If one assumes that the warming is a factor of 4 larger because of positive feedback, as asserted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the warming averted by a net zero U.S. policy would still be very small, 0.034 ∘C (0.061 ∘F).
For worldwide net zero emissions by 2050 and the 4-times larger IPCC climate sensitivity, the averted warming would be 0.28 ∘C* (0.50 ∘F).
Conclusion
As shown by (1), (23), (25) and (26), there appears to be no credible scenario where driving U.S. emissions of CO2 to zero by the year 2050 would avert a temperature increase of more than a few hundredths of a degree centigrade. The immense costs and sacrifices involved would lead to a reduction in warming approximately equal to the measurement uncertainty.
"It is impossible to find a more perfect example of a sublime global stupid policy: "all pain and no gain.
Data, physical facts, and calculations conclusively determine that even if the entire world achieved “net zero” emissions by 2050, even with the perversely exaggerated IPCC’s 4 larger positive feedback climate sensitivity, the reduction in global warming would be a mere 0.28 ∘C (0.50 ∘F). The net zero policy is a dogmatic, narcissistic global initiative that is utterly absurd.
Natural factors like solar cycles, atmospheric dust, water vapor variability, volcanic activities, soils respiration, ocean degasification, and naturally generated aerosols will vastly outweigh any negligible temperature reduction from eliminating global CO2 emissions.
The Net Zero Global Agenda, based on fabricated false syllogism of a non-existent climate change crisis, is indisputably stupid: "all pain and zero gain." Even if every nation on the planet could miraculously reduce their CO2 emissions to Net Zero by 2050 (or any other “always in the future target” year), the temperature increase averted would only be a few hundredths of a degree Celsius, a change too minuscule to be measure accurately, and well within the margin of error and uncertainty. This fact demonstrates the sheer futility and absurdity of the “Net Zero” imposing by decree and obscene subsidies, the even more polluting Green “Sustainable + Clean” Energies agenda.
Dogmatic: The term implies an unyielding adherence to a particular doctrine and blind activism, without considering facts, data, or science. Given that the Net Zero policy is promoted based only on beliefs, consensus, and manipulated false convictions, crisis, and urgency, disregarding the scientific method and data, describing it as "dogmatic" is appropriate.
Narcissistic: The climate change crisis is a self-centered, grandiose approach to a fabricated existential false threat. Global policies are being pushed with an “argumentum ad baculum” sense of moral superiority, with total disregard for data, knowledge, science, logic, or the practical real-world impacts on humans. It is, in fact, sociopathic narcissism.
Global Stupid Policy: The Net Zero “goal” is indeed a global initiative. Climate change is a natural and ongoing process, with the Earth's climate always experiencing fluctuations. Globalists have rebranded “Global Warming” as “Climate Change” as a sale publicity pitch. In reality, the Earth is still recovering from the last Ice Age, a process that undeniably and naturally involves periods of warming none of these caused by anthropogenic emissions, since man did not exist at the time or didn’t use coal gas or petroleum.
If globalists assume they can control the global climate, they might naively believe they can achieve a state where the climate remains static. This delusion leads to the absurd conclusion that they could inadvertently halt natural climate variations altogether, potentially causing more harm than good. Such a belief exemplifies sublime stupidity-an Olympic-class level of ignorance. The notion that human intervention can regulate the Earth's climate to a perfect equilibrium is not only scientifically baseless but also dangerously arrogant.
Furthermore, increased CO2 levels have directly contributed to numerous benefits, including enhanced food production, higher GDP, improved greenery, and increased human longevity. These factors demonstrate the complexity of the climate system, and the essential role CO2 plays in supporting life and economic growth. Reducing CO2 emissions drastically without considering these benefits could lead to unintended negative consequences, making the Net Zero agenda not only impractical but also criminal, genocidal and suicidal.
Utterly Absurd: Since there is absolutely not a single potential benefit of the Net Zero global policy to justify the social and economic costs and self-imposed civilization collapse, furthermore when natural emissions overshadow any minimal impact of human emissions.
Thx Linnea. Even small doses of Truth are refreshing, healthy, good for mind and body.
I've seen temperature differences of more than 10C between rural and urban areas in a city of only 250K.
Bring back global warming. It’s cold here in Melbourne, Australia.
It's not that daytime temperatures are increasing, it's that the nights don't cool as much. This raises the average daily temperatures, thus, it corrupts the data and gives a false positive for overall warning. It's pretty easy to understand for us non m-alarmists.
Search for this “Understanding why nights are getting warmer faster than days, Science Daily”.
Fully agree. It’s great to see commonsense reporting from this young lady instead of all the scaremongering nonsense.
Because concrete takes longer to cool !
@fairlane19641 Yes. Funny that those who promote green building, which uses "heat sinks", which are large concrete or Adobe walls inside a home that collect the day's heat and releasing it at night during winter, totally ignore this when it comes to urban heat island effect
That's in urban areas. Where large amounts of heat absorbing materials are used. Like concrete, asphalt and roof shingles.
It’s ducking freezing here in wales 🏴
10° C isn’t freezing
but, yes, it is cold
Goes to show the numbers are manipulated to look hot and make news headlines
Thanks for that nugget of common sense, based on knowledge. This is exactly the same battle I'm struggling with in my island country. To many people have sold their behind for a government cheque ( my tax money) for virtue signaling propaganda. Keep them clips coming. 2👍's up. Z.
I've been telling people this for years, glad to see someone with credentials saying the same.
you don't need credentials. you just need data. The GISTemp ground stations in the US and worldwide can be accessed through NOAA and you can downliad and plot historical data and metadata (where the station was/is located). you can show this table data or plot it show it to anyone. "Its the data stupid" as Clinton might have said if he were truthful.
Same with sea level - NOAA tidal gauge data is online, updated every 20 seconds for the US. and you can find tidal data for the Maldives for example. To show the Maldives have not gone under water even one inch. The data is out there. ! keep up the good work!
Some time back I was watching a video recording of one of these "stations", being installed close to the street where a van was parked every day. I think the fella was selling ice cream and he was running a generator really close to the measuring station. Global warming, indeed.
UK 'record temperature' of 40 degrees was set in Summer 2023...at an airport....just as a Typhoon jet fighter had taken off...with afterburners....
That must be why nighttime temperatures are so much cooler than daytime in the desert
Clear skies & no cloud adds to the cool temperatures at night as there is no cloud to keep the warmer temperature in.
@leialee6820 wow!
Yes. I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. In he 1960s, summer nighttime low temperatures would rarely stay above 80 degrees. Now, they often won't dip below 90 degrees. Meanwhile, if you drive outside of Phoenix 50 miles into the desert the nighttime temperatures are still what they have always been.
@@jimmoses6617
And scientists know this.
@@hosnimubarak8869 Yes, scientists know this. But they don't want the general public to know this and ruin their narrative.
Great! This is something I started teaching my Earth Science Students in the 1980's.
We taught this along with why the winds along oceans blow in different directions at night vs day. The land heats up and cools faster than the oceans. And of course salt water has a higher heat capacity.
Also there is a micro climate at the first foot above the surface. But there are a lot of other causes also.
Unfortunately Science teachers have been replaced by spreading Propaganda and dogma. I often told my students what I teaching you may become incorrect, like our model of the atom, taxonomies, DNA. We used to teach there were only 5 kingdoms of life.
Now we divide them into 6 or even 7.
We now believe Neanderthals were intelligent, made art as well as tools. And that many of us still have some Neanderthal DNA.
So I taught my students that critical thinking, analysis, problem solving and skepticism are the most important things I can teach them! Not what they memorize.
Sadly the seas are not rising as I’d like a seaside property. Oh well, global warming is all about the money.
I would like easier ocean-transport. Sea-level rise would enable this. So would melting of all of the sea-ice.
As a rural farmer I could confirm this effect fifty years ago.
There was a high temperature record set at a temperature station in northern Australia 2 weeks ago. What they didn't state was the temperature station was installed in 2019!
This was very evident when we lived in Dubai! The city is growing but the desert temps are very cool...
I have been saying this since the 80’s. The more we cover the ground with asphalt and buildings with roofs that have black shingles, the warmer those areas will be. Especially compared to rural areas where after the snow of winter- fields turn green with grass and plants & forest trees with leaves.
Guess what else causes a heating effect. Solar panel farms. They compromise albedo and displace CO2 scrubbing and sequestering vegetation. Solar albedo compromise will increase emissive heating of the local atmosphere on average 50%. It's worse at higher latitudes and with higher albedo geography, snow, ice, water, sand. Solar panels, 0.1; earth average 0.4: meaning 90% absorbance vs 60% or 50% higher radiative absorption, black body emission to the local. This would be otherwise reflected back to space.
Well soon we should see some weather stations put in there to up the global boiling effect! 😕🤔😊😅
Bravo! Same BS with "rising sea levels"
yes, but NOAA's 'official' GISTemp data comes only from the 1200 or so 'official ground T stations, and they both extrapolate and interpolate ground T in between these, plus 'massage' the UHI effect with undisclosed mathematical formulas that are based on lots of assumptions that are not made public to anyone.
The Goddard Space Inst.'s GISTemp global maps of ground temperature shows T from 60-90° at both poles even though there are virtually no GT stations above 60° N or S. Plus they show T for the ocean surfaces! All extrapolation! Only Satellite data can show pole to pole land and sea T, for ground up through troposphere, stratosphere and higher. but their data only began in 1979, 45 years ago. And the 2 satellite data sets, HadCrut in UK and Univ of Alabama, Huntsville, closely match each other and have consistently shown lower levels of warming than the spotty GISTemp data. sigh.....
Thank you for these videos.
I have know this particular information for a very long time.
Also, I like you more natural makeup look than most women have. The unnatural eyebrows and heavy makeup on a lot of women look ridiculous in my opinion, so thank you for that too. I find it much easier to watch you since you do not look like a freak,
in the netherlands its cold for the time of year, 18 degrees celsius. rain.
At my last job before I retired, there was a small weather station in the parking lot surrounded by asphalt. It was a Government location in Otay Mesa CA. I bet they did that on purpose.
Most temp measurement equipment is in populated areas. But on the other note I wonder how many still believe on Gore and Kerry's boiling oceans and burning earth when watching it hail outside in June..
Concrete and asphalt oh yeah 😂
Here in the UK they disguise the location by stating the nearest village/town name. When you check online there is nearly always an airport very close by.
I have said this exact thing for years.
I knew it. No seriously. I thought there had to be a contribution of cities to rising heat. I also think that incandescent light bulbs might also be a culprit because the heat they emit but I don’t know.
i pointed this out last summer to a local tv weatherman when he claimed a huge area around our town had the hottest summer ever snd we should worry that every summer in the future will be the same. His next public comment was that our *town* had the hottest summer ever, not our county or region. but another member of the public claimed that urban heat islands were contributing to global warming. sigh.....
