This is fucking silly.
It doesn't matter that the temperature stations are located in a urban heatzones. Urban heatzones have been understood for many decades, and you have to account for them. Average global temperature is not literally just an simple mean of a couple dozen thermometers. It is a fully abstract calculation that includes heat bias from temperature sensors in warmer areas, as well as cold bias from colder areas.
Look, you get one of two choices:
if you have to do black box math to something to make your theory work, you're a huckster.
You could read the math if you wanted to, but it would require you to learn it.
Ya I'm sure their calculations include all the variables ever. It's fool proof.
I mean, you could always check.
