  • Solar variability may have been underestimated in climate change models.

Deep dives

Urbanization bias in climate data

Recent research suggests that current estimates of global warming may be influenced by urbanization bias in temperature data. Urban areas, which tend to have higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas, are a small fraction of the global land area, but many temperature stations in these areas are included in global temperature estimates. This urbanization bias could lead to an overestimation of global warming. Studies have found that up to 40% of the observed warming since the 19th century may be attributed to urban heat island effects. This highlights the importance of considering the impact of urbanization on temperature measurements and its potential influence on climate models.
