This is not new....the heat sink effect of heavily paved urban areas has been a problem right along. Not only is it black it also has a very high heat storage capacity.
I'm kinda glad I won't be around to see how you climatechangeevangelistas will handle this!

me tooThere are over 2,605,331 miles of paved road in the United States
3,980,817 miles | Institute for Transportation
posted on November 1, 2017 The United States has a lot of roads—3,980,817 miles to be exact. Roads are relatively simple but make a big impact, and they exist nearly everywhere…intrans.iastate.edu
When combined with the heat released by vehicle engines, paved areas can boost the temperature in cities by as much as 22°F, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
The number of urban dwellers worldwide is rising by as much as 78 million people annually, according to the United Nations Population Division. That’s the equivalent of adding nine New York Cities to the planet every single year.
Feeling the Heat? Blame Concrete
There's a good case to be made that we should stop using concrete in our cities—if only we had another option.time.com
More than 4 billion tons of cement were produced in 2021, contributing 8% of global CO2 emissions, according to think tank Chatham House.
So while all you try to fix CO2 emissions with EVs you will still need concrete and the net effect of how that increases "climate change" is yet to be seen.
My whole point of this post is simple...
why are we so worried about 422 ppm CO2 when 1/2 billion years ago the world was living successfully at 7,000 PPM!
Some 500 million years ago, when the number of living things in the oceans exploded and creatures first stepped on land, the ancient atmosphere happened to be rich with about 7,000 ppm of carbon dioxide. "
How the World Passed a Carbon Threshold and Why It Matters
Last year marked the first time in several million years that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 passed 400 parts per million. By looking at what Earth’s climate was like in previous eras of high CO2 levels, scientists are getting a sobering picture of where we are headed.e360.yale.edu

In a few billion years the sun will blow up. We need to spend an infinite amount of money fighting that or we are all doomed. The climate is trivial compared to that.There are over 2,605,331 miles of paved road in the United States

You are absolutely 100% right! I did a brief search for CO2 on the sun but no answer.

Yea but here is what Biden "GUARANTEED.."
"I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels” September 06, 2019,
And your ignorance like Biden of the REALITY that 60% of our electricity comes from fossil fuels and unlike you
I PROVE my statement:...https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-in-the-us.php
There are 3,343 fossil fuel electric generating plants:
So according to Biden to "rid fossil fuels" means electricity generating plants.
Shifting U.S. to 100 Percent Renewables Would Cost $4.5 Trillion, Analysis Finds
Where would that $4.5 TRILLION come from? YOU and ME directly through higher costs of our electric bill and INDIRECTLY when the goods and services companies will be billed and pass it on through higher prices!

They all create micro climates in and around them, that influence wind patterns and weather.

OK, nice, you've figured out Co2 is FRAUD.... wants some truth, have at it...
Since Co2 does nothing, what does cause Earth climate change?
The first part is understanding what is climate and what is weather. Climate is the parameters of Earth that allow certain ranges of weather. We don't get Cat 10 canes now, but we would if Earth had no ice. What are the parameters of climate that can change? Ocean levels Atmospheric...

Apparently we really need a "debate" over the term ICE AGE because y'all are all wrong...
What is an ICE AGE? Most apparently still believe it is a terrifying horror movie event where Earth all at once freezes up. The data has never supported such a scenario. Since 2010, there has been a massive effort to re-write Earth climate history into a series of rapid "glaciations" and ice...

The warmers need to explain the Arctic Circle's ice pattern, and how Co2 is responsible...
The map is clear. 7% of Earth ice is on Greenland. Why is there ice on Greenland south of the Arctic Circle, and no ice north of the Arctic Circle on Alaska? Co2 and sun do not explain this. The only explanation is the Greenland is within 600 miles of the pole at the top, and hence...

The lies of Milankovich Cycles aka McBullshit - where was land mass Antarctica 70 million years ago
McBullshit claims Antarctica has been on the South Pole forever, it never moved at all. And, while it is on the South Pole, it has rapidly gone from ice age to tropical paradise and back over and over.... a Dennis Quaid theory for sure... We know that Antarctica has 70 million year old...

How old were the 2.5 mile thick glaciers covering Chicago in the past 20k-5 million years?
This is where the climate debate is now stuck. Every piece of land within 600 miles of a pole is in ice age, everything outside of that is not. Nobody has attempted to dispute that. It is the clear truth of Earth today. Milankovitch Cycles, which I call McBullshit Cycles, take a very...

Nonsense. Not only do they (fossil plants) use massive amounts of concrete, they routinely heat the water and air around them

Solar farm impacts
Clearing an area of trees or other vegetation to install solar panels can have a significant impact on local ecosystems. In addition, the construction of roads and transmission lines necessary to support large-scale solar energy development can fragment habitats, disturb wildlife, and introduce non-native species
