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...

Some of the poorest and most vulnerable members of society are losing out on millions of pounds worth of cold weather payments in England and Wales due to official reliance on data from corrupted Met Office temperature measuring...

This is the first of what will likely be a series of posts regarding urban heat island (UHI) effects in daily record high temperatures. My previous UHI work has been using the GHCN monthly average station data of “Tavg”...

But the main point of this post is to demonstrate that low correlations between two dataset variables do not necessarily mean low confidence in regression slopes (and intercepts)...

These results suggest there is now additional reason to distrust the official temperature trends reported for U.S. weather stations. They are, on average, too warm. By how much? That remains to be determined. Our method provides...

As indicted by the temperature measurement graphs and studies noted above NOAA’s contiguous U.S. calculated Tavg increasing trend values since about 1985 are clearly driven upward by station measurement siting flaws and...

It is extremely unfortunate that the U.S. media is so incapable and incompetent at addressing the huge climate science shortcomings underlying climate alarmist propaganda as illustrated in this Register and SCNG chart.  

A new study shows that among different types of vegetation, forests within walkable distance from residential areas are particularly crucial in mitigating heat-related health risks.

Urban Heat Islands are centers for the most heat related deaths. The battle to save lives from unnatural extreme heat requires reducing urban heat island effects. Reducing CO2 is irrelevant!

Despite this laughable failure of grade-school science, the WaPo story does point out the mechanism for how rural areas help keep cities cooler.

It is hard to think of a worse place to measure temperature trends.

In this video, we compare rural and urban weather station data to explain “urbanization bias” in cities along with possible solutions to urban heating.

This sort of “junk journalism” is little more than click-bait for those who believe that climate change is a bigger and more serious issue than growing cities that are overutilizing their own resources and sweltering...

The theme of these articles is whether the historic temperature record is useful for understanding Urban Heat Island Effects.

Australia’s low population density plus its many weather stations allow many “pristine” station candidates to be examined for studies of Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects.
