urban heat island, definition of

A smart meter is a form of electricity consumption meter that is able to measure your electricity usage in multiple time bands and is computer based. Also they will usually support 'feed in' measurement of locally generated electricity back into the electrical supply grid; i.e. any spare electricity generated by solar panels.

• Climate Central’s Urban Rainfall Claims Are All Wet
  This kind of shoddy research for media consumption undermines public trust in climate science. CC claims to be an authority, yet their work shows a consistent pattern: cherry-pick data, ignore contradictory evidence, and blame everything on humans using...
• Sorry, ABC News, Early Cherry Blossom Bloom Is Due to Urban Heat Island, Not Climate Change
  ABC News ignores the research and data which strongly suggests that the UHI is wholly responsible for earlier spring peak cherry blossom blooms, due to fewer late season frosts and warmer average nighttime temperatures...
• Gosh, Really? NASA data reveals role of green spaces in cooling cities
  Cities in the Global South tend to have less green space than cities in the Global North. This mirrors studies of the disparities within cities, sometimes referred to as the “luxury effect”: wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more green space than...

• Major Climate Alarmist Fail: “The Hottest Summer Ever” that Never Was
  The failure of climate alarmists to use NOAA summer maximum temperature measurements and instead rely on temperature anomaly related analysis using summer average temperatures in making flawed “hottest summer ever” claims is a major error.
• Climate Change Weekly #454: Economic Realities Dash Biden’s Offshore Wind Plans

• More surfacestations project vindication: Strong UHI temperature biases confirmed in USA
  WUWT readers may recall that NOAA did an experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that vindicated my findings about the effects of local urbanization on surface temperature measurements...
• NASA satellite offers urban carbon dioxide insights
  University of Utah A new NASA/university study of carbon dioxide emissions for 20 major cities around the world provides the first direct, satellite-based evidence that as a city’s population density increases, the carbon dioxide it emits per person...
