“Studies show up to 86% of ALL temp. sensors are heat contaminated due to heat island.”

I have a photo of a weather station next to the “green” educational building at our GREAT zoo (Seattle). It is right next to the A/C system exhaust system in a walled/concrete area. I imagine associated with such a building it is somehow tied in to the land-based system.

My daughter used it a few years ago as part of her sixth-grade poster debunking AGW! The teacher talked to her about her comments in class, and that she should probably just keep quiet as they would probably just draw ridicule by her classmates. So she countered with the poster board! (The teacher gave her an “A” too!)

Good for her. And that is typical. 6.2% of the weather stations out there are contaminated by over 5C! That is NOT a small number and it is having a HUGE impact on the global "average." The biggest factor is the overnight lows. In the cities...it just doesn't get as cold as it used to because radiative cooling can't do its business with all the concrete around.

YET...these brilliant scientist say this has NO or little impact. All I know is I would LOVE to ask Al Gore about it.
