This is really simple. Don't use urban heat stations.
Do you like apples? I like apples.
I found a list of the 123 most populated cities. The total population if those 123 cities is
1,050,748,000 people or roughly 1/7 of the world's population. The surface are of those 123 cities which contains 1/7 of the people on earth is 214,468 km^2 or 2.14468E+11 m^2.
The world wide average continuous heat flow from the use of electricity is 18 tW. So the waste heat of the 1,050,748,000 people living in those 123 cities would be 1/7 of that or 2.5714 tW or 2.5714+12 W. So the radiative forcing from waste heat from electricity usage in the most populated cities is equal to 2.5714+12 W divided by 2.14468E+11 m^2 which is equal to 11.99 W/m^2.
How about dem apples?
I've already responded to the urban heat island and effect of station sitings which show that poor station siting and urban heat islands do not result in a statistically significant difference in the data.
