There’s a far more scientific way of understanding the climate, and that involves observing the actual climate system directly from space or in situ.

Urbanization Effects on GHCN Temperature Trends, Part II: Evidence that Homogenization Spuriously Warms Trends
Thus, it appears that NOAA’s homogenization procedure is spuriously warming station temperature trends (on average) when it should be cooling them. I don’t know how to conclude any different.
De-Urbanization of Surface Temperatures with the Landsat-Based “Built-Up” Dataset
But given the fact that all CMIP6 climate models produce U.S. summer temperature trends greater than the NOAA observations means the discrepancy between climate models and observations is even larger than currently…
The Chinese demonstrate that UHI has a real and essential effect on regional climate change
Study finds that urbanization has considerable influence on the regional climate change, they even blame proximity to air-conditioning as a factor. Press release from Science China Press (full paper follows)…
Impact on temperature measurement: Cities expand by area equal to France, Germany and Spain combined in less than 20 years
Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. points out on his weblog this interesting press release from IGBP (from March 2012) that we all apparently missed until now. One of the points worth…
