On summer nights, in Oklahoma City, I'd be driving my convertible, and you could feel the soaked in heat as you passed under the bridges on the interstates. Once you got out of the city, it cooled off, quickly.

That Libs cannot, or will not, notice this is only typical of their refusal to accept reality.

30 years ago when I lived in Atlanta, they even talked about the “Heat Island” effect on the evening weather portion of the news. Another thing that I rarely see brought up, is that the massive number of new “record” highs can be largely attributed to the massive number of new weather stations. In short, a weather station that did not exist 5 years ago is much more likely to have 20% of its temperatures be new record highs for the day than one that has been recording temps for 50 years. I saw one time that the Puget Sound region now had something like 1400 recording points, whereas it used to be the official weather stations in the region could be counted on 2 hands. (mostly airports and universities). Now every elementary school, middle school, high school, and government building is an official recording station.

Temperature measuring stations haven’t moved .
Urban areas have built up around them.
Why is this never discussed?

I reject the entire notion that people can determine the average temperature of the entire planet to within one one/hundredth of one degree in the first place. I live by a large stream which is called a creek but is more of a small river. I don’t fish any longer but I used to go fishing almost daily and when traveling the winding curves of the creek late in the day in a boat it was amazing to feel the temperature of the air change every time you turned a corner, it was quite noticeable, sometimes changing from very comfortably warm to chilly within a few feet. To think that people can take temp measurements in a very few locations and then come up with an average temperature for the Earth just seems illogical, in fact silly in my view. To claim acccuracy to one one hundredth of one degree F is, I believe, absurd.
