Reply to "52 Explanations For Pause in Global Warming"

To be fair, one can say the human desire to cover everything in concrete and asphalt does cause warming on the micro-climate scale.

 

Some areas of Australia's cities will be up to 3.7 degrees hotter by 2050 due to the growth of urbanisation according to new research data.

 

Australia will experience the "urban heat island effect" in which temperatures will rise in built-up areas with more asphalt and concrete. Researchers from the University of NSW say the rising temperatures will enhance the effects of climate change.

 

Lead author of the study Daniel Argueso says if a person lives near the edge of the city, a change in temperature may be observed particularly during the night.  The researchers completed the study at the Centre for Excellence in Climate System Science.
