Global temperatures, whether in the city, rural area, ocean, or satellite all show warming. Even the ice cores, which aren't very reliable anyways, show warming. Just because a single region might not be warming, doesn't mean the whole globe isn't. Try to tell the Midwest US there hasn't been warming: http://www.reuters.com/article/bondsNews/idUSN0130458420080701 And learn about the Urban Heat Island effect, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_heat_island#Relation_to_global_warming The science doesn’t support what you’re saying, Brian H.

Except there's been no increase in temps in the last decade: actually a decline, if you exclude the bogus data from surface reporting stations that have been engulfed by urban heat island sprawl. Rural and ocean and satellite data are showing drops in sync with sunspot behaviour. And if the sunspot shortage turns into a Maunder Minimum, you'd better load up on woolies and furs. Uh-huh.
