Top climate scientists believe that a 0.0001 increase in CO2 atmospheric mole fraction can increase the temperature at Los Angeles by 12F.
These same people don’t believe that 2,000 square miles of asphalt and concrete, 10 million cars burning trillions of BTUs of gasoline, 15 million people, millions of air conditioners, and massive air pollution has a significant direct impact on the temperature in Los Angeles.
No UHI correction needed!
Careful analysis of recent events shows that every time Obama kills Osama, Muller shortly thereafter converts from being a skeptic to being an alarmist.
While we can’t definitively link specific Muller conversion events to Osama death events, we can say that this is exactly the sort of behavior we expect to see in the Obama banana republic.
“All neighborhoods … and possibly entire coastal communities … will be inundated during the period of peak storm tide,” the advisory said. “Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single-family one- or two-story homes will face certain death.”
Bill Read, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, estimated there were about 140,000 people in the smaller, “certain death” zone. About 70 percent of those residents evacuated. That left nearly 40,000 people to contend with the worst of the storm surge.
Ice cores show regular long term 12C swings in temperature, with 2C shorter term swings.
Our government says that they can stop a 2C swing in temperature – because they are vastly stupider and more superstitious than the witch burners in the Holy Grail.
Alaska used to be the global warming canary in the coal mine, but it froze to death and the new canary is in Oklahoma.
Snowfall lingers deep into summer in mountains surrounding Anchorage
Craig Medred | Jul 30, 2012Ice finally went out of Rabbit Lake in the Chugach Mountains in mid-July, ending fears that a new ice age might be brewing only a few thousand feet above Alaska’s largest city. But plenty of snow still clings to the mountains surrounding the lake at about 3,100 feet. And just over a ridge, ice floated in McHugh Lake at an elevation of only 2,900 feet near the end of July.

“I think the conclusion that urban heat islands contribute essentially zero to the warming we see is on very solid ground.”
The National Weather Service has documented 7-13F UHI in Phoenix
By the end of the series, there was a +4 to 7 ºC (7 to 13 ºF) difference between the urban minimum temperatures and the rural minimum temperatures.
Barrow has 2.2C UHI

The geniuses in the global warming community tell us that the US heatwave of 2012 is due to the background of a warming climate.
July of 2009 was the coldest on record in the Ohio Valley, and July temperatures have been plummeting in that region since 1930. July 1934 and 1936 were both much hotter – even after NCDC adds 1.5 degrees on to recent temperatures relative to the 1930s.
