If anybody is in any doubt about the unsuitability of Kew as a climatological station, a few years ago the BBC/Met Office laughably tried to present Heathrow as a reliable site, because its temperatures closely tracked Kew!
The Urban Heat Island is a primary factor in urban warming trends, not the footnote that Climate Central treats it as. Before attributing summer warming in 221 cities to human fossil fuel use, Climate Central should first...
I am finding that most of the major cities in the western U.S. have reduced UHI heating (and like LA, even cooling) during daytime and nighttime on excessively hot days. In many cases I believe this is due to watering of...
Researchers examined more than 6,000 data centers worldwide and found that surrounding areas experienced an average land surface temperature increase of about 2°C
From the “decades late and a dollar short” department comes the peer-reviewed exercise in the obvious. Of course, UEA was always a little bit slow. If they weren’t, we’d never…
Phys.org does its readers a disservice by not fact checking the Nature study and examining other possible causes for its conclusions. Instead of a thoughtful scientific examination of the novel claims made in the study it...
he Guardian’s narrative collapses under scrutiny, because it ignores the UHI effect. Cities are not thermometers for the planet.
From Dr. Roy Spencer’s Global Warming Blog by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. …but the coolest summer nights have warmed by 5 deg. F. John Christy and I continue to…
By Jo Nova Who knew, we can solve global warming by moving suburbs, planting trees, limiting immigration? A new study used satellite data to look at ten cities around the world to see which parts of cities are the warmest,...
“In contrast, cold spots characterized by dense vegetation showed a notable cooling effect, with LST differences reaching −3.7 °C. Similarly, proximity to water bodies contributed to temperature mitigation, as areas...
Blackouts during heat waves are dangerous, but blaming such failures on climate change instead of on poorly managed energy policies and fragile grids dominated by weather-dependent renewables is a complete abdication of responsibility.
A new study from the University of Alabama in Huntsville addresses the question of how much the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is responsible for the higher temperatures at weather stations across the world...
To quickly summarize, we used the average temperature differences between nearby GHCN stations and related those to population density (PD) differences between stations...
The graph they built on a lie. The iconic 'climate' graph that's undermining industrial capitalism and taking our freedom...and it's 100 percent garbage.
He concludes that despite the site being one of the Met Office’s most important locations, it is “completely worthless” for climate reporting. Despite this being a ‘flagship’ site, it is said to demonstrate the...
