If cities expand and get more near the thermometer locations local measurements will not reflect long term global trends. Perhaps researchers have accounted for this.
They have. Even accounted for altitude, latitude, time of the year, all that. Which is why I've mentioned even earlier in this thread that you need a lot of data, a lot, before you can even know if the trend you've found is real. Which was why I referred people to the IPCC, only to have Lemon say they were caught lying when they were actually talking about tree rings and statistical methods.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
