Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Study: “The effect of urbanheating on the global trends is nearly negligible”Posted on 21 October 2011 by Andy Skuce A paper submitted for peer review by the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study (BEST) finds that urban heating has an influence on global temperature trends that is “nearly negligible” and that what effect has been observed is even slightly negative, which is to say that temperature trends in urban areas are actually cooler than the trends measured at rural sites, and that the Earth's land surface has warmed approximately 1°C on average since 1950. skepticalscience.com
