Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?
#57
RE: Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?
It's the effect in which the atmosphere in and around an urban area tends to be higher than in rural areas mostly due to the surfaces involved (mainly pavement and concrete). It can be mitigated with reflective roofs and the like. Once upon a time it was thought that global warming could be an illusion produced by formerly rurual temperature guages being engulfed by urban areas, but while urban warming is an important local effect, temperatures in rural areas have been rising as well.
