At 5:42 PM, the Green District Councillor in Essex said “CO2 is the main driver of global warming.”  At 6:29 PM he said “Ice ages are driven by the MK Mechanism. CO2 responds to that and acts as an amplifier.”

It has been many years since the weather was as warm in the month of March as it has been this year, We doubt very much if even the “‘oldest inhabitant” can remember a time when the temperature reached as high a point in March as it did on last Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
It is claimed that no such weather has been known in Charleston since the establishment of the weather bureau thirty-five years ago, On last Saturday the temperature in that city reached 94.2 degrees at 2:30 in the afternoon, June and July rarely ever bring any warmer weather than this,”

“Differences in the average daily temperature minima (nighttime) of San Antonio relative to New Braunfels for the summer months from 1946 to 1990 (dark line). The warming trend due to the UHI in San Antonio is shown by the red line, which represents a least-squares fit to the data.”

“The UHI effect itself may be an important contributor to the investigation of global warming. Most temperature measurements are made at weather stations located at airports, which are intense heat islands because of their long runways, terminals, large parking lots, and buildings. A question thus arises about the significance of these measurements influenced by the UHI in relation to global warming.”
