SubjectFwd: rural/urban paper


Dear All,
Link below is to a paper just out in the US. Could be some press
coverage - as it says
there is no difference between urban and rural stations for temperature
over the US !
Interesting to see if the skeptics pick up on this. They are probably
still going through the
Vinnikov/Grody paper in Science showing MSU2 warming more than the
surface, so
they have a lot to look at.
I reviewed Peterson's one with Chris and couldn't see anything wrong
with the main message.

Cheers
Phil
