As years progress and population density increases occur around the world, regional color patterns change from yellows, to greens, to reds, to purples, etc. denoting ever increasing UHI temperature increases over time. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These increasing temperature UHI impact temperatures are clearly of significant relevance compared to NOAA\u2019s range of modest global average temperature anomaly measurement changes over time which are typically measured in tenths of a degree C varying over multiyear periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Dr. Spencer notes that the world\u2019s population is increasingly moving to urban centers with that reality bringing higher UHI temperature impacts that are erroneously hyped by climate alarmists and their media advocates as being driven by \u201cglobal warming\u201d when he concludes: &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<strong>Over 50% of the population now lives in urban areas, and that fraction is supposed to approach 70% by 2045. This summer we have seen how the media reports on temperature records being broken for various cities and they usually conflate urban warmth with global warming even through such record-breaking warmth would increasingly occur even with no global warming.<\/strong>\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asia\u2019s highest average temperature\u00a0anomaly was
