  The relevant part here is that Koch et al backed that research fully expecting it to support the notion that: > Wait until the average/mean hot days climb as one keeps adding more temperature reading stations together around airports and not forest. and instead the research refuted that expectation by finding that climate data scientists weren't that stupid as to allow such obvious bias. Yet, here you are, eleven years later, dragging that old dog and pony show out for a walk about the park.

    A great way of introducing bias. Here we are.

      That seems disingenuous at best. Your ancestoral comment wasn't framed as "here's an example of potential bias that smart people would know how to work through". It clearly suggested that official global mean tempretures would rise as a result of uncorrected urban heat bias. Did you actually believe that something that obvious had not been accounted for? If you didn't think that, then why suggest that it wasn't?
