Global warming is occurring in cities with burgeoning populations, not in the countryside – explaining the “urban heat island” effect - the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change use flawed data
A few weeks ago, I posted this piece:
It had these numbers on the split between urban and rural land use by mankind veer the last 40 years:
Plant surface area of land area = 57.5 million square miles = around 14.9 billion hectares.
“Hardly any change at all in overall land use of one third of Planet Earth by humans, but a 50% increase in the square miles of built-up areas (where the urban heat island effect takes place) to 59 million (not billion) hectares which equates to 120,000 square miles if “urbanisation” over the last 40 years.
That’s an expansion from 0.34% of the total surface area of the Earth in 1980, to 0.53% - an increase of around 0.2%,”
Here’s a representation of the make-up of the gases in the atmosphere:
Carbo dioxide is now held to be at around -.042% from the 0.035% shown in the “other gases” table on the right-hand side. All that fuss about methane emissions relates to the increase from 0.00014% of the air to 0.00018% - and increase of 40 parts per billion to 180 parts per billion. (Insert “face of concern” here :>| ).
The team at www.ceres-science.com have put out a short ten-minute video on what urban heat islands are.
The urban heat island: implications for global warming & climate change (youtube.com)
In the video, the narrator explains how the UN IPCC claims that just 10% of measured “global warming” comes from urbanization and the urban heat island effect. The tam at Ceres estimate that this impact is four times larger at 40% of any warming effect and that the Sun is far more important for Planet Earth’s changes in temperature and climate. (Temperature is short term – a few days/weeks/months, climate change is measured over periods of at least three decades).
As an aside, here’s a link to another article from October 2023
And another from December 2023:
The Ceres team points out that the management of city heat is of paramount importance. This can be doe by planting trees along city streets, installing roof top gardens and solar reflectors (solar panels generate a lot of heat!), lots more parks and surfaces that allow water to permeate rather than gather as puddles and evaporate.
I wonder how much of the urban heat island effect can be attributed to the mass migration to cities over the last several decades within India and China – maybe the movement of several hundred million people – compared to the mass migration of tens of millions to US and European cities from outside the US and Europe..
What is not needed is architecture like this:
This London skyscraper can melt cars and set buildings on fire (nbcnews.com)
“London isn't famous for hot weather, but that may change soon, and not because of global warming: The design of a new skyscraper in the city is melting cars and setting buildings on fire.”
Sems like there should be demand for an urban, climate friendly urban renewal project that creates wind tunnels for turbines and replaces existing climate hostile skyscrapers with climate friendly ones.
Onwards!!!

FAKE ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING
Bottom line is that the Ideal Gas Laws PROVE CO2 does not cause global warming. Climate is cyclical and via inductance it’s directly connected to the EMF heliosphere of the sun - Field theory is a proven theory. Ideal Gas Laws are proven laws of physics. If that’s not enough for the sell-out co-called “scientists”, ice core data and tree rings also prove the same thing: temperature rises from the sun’s activity, which releases CO2 in the ocean and permafrost, which then cools the earth, because it’s a self-balancing system. The hockey stick graph of Al Gore’s and Michael Mann hides the fact that temp rises first and 600 years later CO2 rises to offset the temp. So what’s real… globalist climate models that mix and match positive and negative feedback variables and cherry pick temp data, or the laws of physics and proven theories of science? The only science globalists use is psychology to instil fear for mass manipulation, media hypnosis, bribery and BS for dumbed-down parrots that like to glue themselves to highways in protest of a life-giving gas.
1) Ideal gas laws DEFINITIVELY PROVE that CO2 does not cause global warming and in fact release of CO2 follows a temp rise in a closed system to keep it balanced (Temp rises, releasing trapped CO2 from water, inc. frozen ground).
2) Ice core records and tree rings also prove CO2 does not cause global warming.
3) Real science shows we are headed into a mini ice age - It's undeniable if searching via an uncensored search engine IE yandex.com
4) “Global warming” is globalist propaganda to control economies and divide/demoralize people for a system of global slavery. Control energy → control economy → control national/local governments.
I put a report together for a presentation to 3rd year Enviro Science student in 2010; they freaked out, quite literally. The instructor had to bring in the government head of environmental science to put the kids back in their bubble. Not one of them had read a book about the science of climate, but they all watched Al Gore’s movie and they all were trained to see oil as the enemy. This is the link to the report, if you’re interested: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1QBN2wqN2iKifGFuZzdEWy88uuUnvGhP_
FIRE AND ICE REPORT WAS SCRUBBED BUT STILL AVAILABLE ON THE WAYBACK MACHINE
Journalists have warned of climate change for 100 years, but can’t decide whether we face an ice age or global warming FYI… Ideal Gas Laws prove C02 doesn't cause global warming, as do ice cores and tree rings. Positive and negative feedback variables balance each other out via pressure, temp and vol. The change catalyst is the Sun:
