Another really good try from our advanced general scientist. C-- Maybe the galaxy is slowing down, and there is less cosmic wind chill effect. Answer: Urban Heat Island Effect has been examined quite thoroughly (PDF)http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/population/article2abstract.pdf and found to have a negligible effect on temperature trends. Real Climate has a detailed discussion of this here.http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=43 What's more, NASA GISS data.giss.nasa.gov takes explicit steps in their analysis to remove any such spurious signal by normalizing urban station data trends to the surrounding rural stations. It is a real phenomenon, but it is one climate scientists are well aware of and have taken any required steps to remove its influence from the raw data. gristmill.grist.org ncdc.noaa.gov
