RE: “ The global rural temperature time series and trends are very similar to those derived from the full data set. Therefore, the well-known global temperature time series from in situ stations is not significantly impacted by urban warming.”

-Then how do they reconcile the temperature differences between these two stations below, both of which are in California?
The first one is in a good location in a rural area; the other is in an urban area, next to an air conditioner.

The rural does not show a warming trend, but the urban one is headed off the chart! No "significant impact" indeed!
