It seems to me, that you are decided that man-made global warming isn't real. Maybe you're not, but that's how you're coming across, and I'm not the only one getting that impression.

No we'd get distorted temperatures if we did that.
You seem to be under the impression that cities kick out lots of heat, but in some way that heat doesn't contribute to the earth's temperature. It does.
The ideal situation would be readings taken everywhere: in cities, in the country, on the sea etc, and averaging over them.

I've noticed that people with "conservative" views are much more likely to claim that man-made global warming is a hoax, or conspiracy or simply a mistake. Anyone have any idea why?
