Normally it is 5-10 degrees warmer in the gym parking lot, than along the bike trail I take through the forest to get there. During the summer the heat in the parking lot was definitely noticeable on a few nights.
But now that cold weather has set in, the warmth in the parking lot actually feels nice.
Oh wait … it is summer. Supposedly.
Erm, you aren’t supposed to be able to notice the difference in temperature between the UHI and the countryside. At least not if you use the “official” NOAA UHI adjustment factor…..
That warmth you feel is just your fevered imagination.
Queenstown’s Remarkables ski field couldn’t open here in NZ yesterday because of too much snow. Where is David Viner?
We do have a Gore here,it’s near the bottom of the South Island. So we do have the Gore effect.
The Gore effect has been fully replicated in many parts of the world and over a substantial time period. AFAIR the Gore effect’s impact on the weather and climate, correlates better than the CO2/ gobal temperature rise correlation.
I wonder if I could get funding for a research paper on this and its effect on CAGW.
The UHI is well understood by the Cause, and the first 0.0001 degrees of it are reflected in recent adjustments to the database.
Barcelona (spain) the same thing. We didn’t have a real summer yet. Maybe real summers are something from the past.
BUT, BUT, But, But, but The cold weather is just here in the USA,. It is only a local phenomenon, The Goricial told me so, so it must be true!
NOw that cold weather has set in – in the middle of august! We are going to freeze to death from global warming.
You have proved the warmists claims. “Normally it is 5-10 degrees warmer in the gym parking lot… ” and even now when it is colder (due to AGW effects I’m sure) it is still warmer in the gym parking lot. What happens at the gym? Evil humans exercise and their CO2 emissions increase radically and every time you open the door more of it floods the parking lot. A skeptic would believe that it was parking lot adding heat by radiation and convection but a true warmist knows you wouldn’t even feel it if there wasn’t more CO2 in the air “back reflecting” all of that radiation by making the parking lot a “greenhouse.”</sarc>
I was out golfing yesterday. It was a lovely October day. But this is mid August, right?
I’m afraid you have it backwards. The urban temperatures are correct, it is the RCO, or ‘Rural Cold Ocean’ effect that must be countered in post modern climatology.
