They "have likely taken into account the urbanization effect". Hmm...interesting concept, if one decided to believe that what you say is true. Do you know for sure, or are you assuming again?

"Have likely" is a far stretch from actually doing it.

Sounds like you may have logged onto the wrong site here buddy. Can you say way off topic?

and what, pray tell? is the 'urbanization effect' that climatologists have taken into account?

The fact that weather stations that used to be adjacent to a corn field are now next to a shopping mall. Pavement, cars and buildings get a lot hotter than trees, cows and wheat.

You mean when they deliberately put the temperature sensor next to a air conditioning heat dissipator? or when they put it close to an asphault pad in the desert?

e.g. skewing the results by placement of the sensors...

I guess that they force the science so that agrees with their political agenda.. no matter what it takes to get there..

No I'm not saying that it's deliberate, just that the areas around most stations become urbanized over time, and urban areas are naturally hotter. This is not reflected in the history of the stations so to extrapolate that data into a global warming argument is, at best, silly.

I am saying it is deliberate!!! They need the power and the money. it is all about their political power ..


It is the same kind of deliberate when they cannot admit that any of their social programs have failed.. and their deliberate NON-attempts to fix anything.

It is all about grabbing political power and nothing else.
