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.…

Data Centers, Hot Air, and the Reinvention of the Urban Heat Island
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
The University of East Anglia Discovers the Urban Heat Island Effect
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…
Wrong, Phys.org, Faulty Thermometers Aren’t Evidence of a ‘Climate Roller Coaster’
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…
The Guardian Is Wrong: Cities Are Hotter Because of the UHI Effect, Not Increased CO₂
he Guardian’s narrative collapses under scrutiny, because it ignores the UHI effect. Cities are not thermometers for the planet.
The Hottest Summer Days in D.C. Have Not Gotten Hotter in Last 40 Years
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…
Sustainability Magazine’s Heat Wave Hype: Grid Struggles Stem from Policy, Not Climate
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…
Live at 1 p.m. Eastern: SHOCK CLIMATE REPORT! Urban Heat Islands Responsible for 65% of Global Warming
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…
The Graph That Lied
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.
Global Climate Database Fed with Junk Data from RAF Airbase Where Helicopters Hover Over the Thermometer
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…
No Climate Mayday in Madras: Reconsidering Doomsday Narratives
The fact that Chennai’s highest recorded temperature occurred in 1892, long before the era of modern industrialization and urbanization, is a powerful reminder that extreme weather events are not a…
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…
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…
Urban Legends of Climate Change: Palm Springs, California
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…
NOAA’s U.S. Temperature Data Demonstrate that Population Growth UHIs & Measurement Inadequacies Drive Tavg Increasing Outcomes – Not Climate Change
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…
O C Register Publishes a Climate Alarmist “The Heat Rises” Weather Impact Chart Which Should instead be Called “The Hype, Distortion & Deception Rises”
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…
Newsflash: Trees mitigate heatwaves in cities, film at 11.
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.
Saving Lives from Extreme Heat Requires Reducing Urban Heat Island Effects Not CO2!
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!
Right, Washington Post, Rural Areas Are Significantly Cooler Than Cities, But Please Learn How to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
Despite this laughable failure of grade-school science, the WaPo story does point out the mechanism for how rural areas help keep cities cooler.
