Sattelite Data Show 2015 Was NOT EVEN CLOSE to Being Hottest on Record.

It is far more likely that any temperature increase would be due to increased urbanization than CO2 gases. I do not see you suggesting we empty the cities and spread out to rural areas.
 
Urbanization is specifically compensated for in the temperature records.

And if your theory starts out by assuming all scientists are either too stupid or too corrupt to look at the obvious, then it's a conspiracy theory.
 
GISS did its own adjustments and homogenization up until the switch to V.3 at the end of 2011.

they did have a specific UHI adjustment. done in two legs, breakpoint at 1950. four types of outcomes. warm the past (pre1950) and warm the recent (1950-2011), which is what the typical situation would suggest as UHI usually keeps getting bigger as urbanization of an area continues to grow. not many ghost towns out there. the other three possibilities are (warm/cool), (cool/warm), and (cool/cool).

of the 3000 stations used by GISS less than 1/6 follow the 'normal' pattern of reducing the trend for UHI.
