Since this chart is near-surface global average temps, at what point in time to we see so many ground measuring instruments near obvious heat sources?

70% or so are oceanic measurements. The plot below explicitly states this; compare to the Hadley Centre near-surface global temps. So I would expect that poor station locations would contribute to regional discrepancies but have only a minor influence on the global trends. Ask yourself: why is climatic spring ~10 days earlier (as determined by many different natural indicators) since 1900 if there are so many deficient weather stations?
