The only reason it seems warmer is that most of the temperature stations that they use which used to be on the outskirts of town in pastures are now surrounded by asphalt and cement roads, Houses and buildings which absorb more infrared radiation than grassy fields thus raising the local air temps slightly. This is known as the “Urban Micro-Climate Effect”. It is the asphalt’s fault not a minor increase in CO2.

What should we do, tear down all the roads and buildings?

I should stop giving them ideas.
