What are the effects of concrete jungles on rising temperatures?

∙ 9y ago
Concrete jungles, or Urban Heat Islands, as they are known, hold the heat better. Cities, especially cities with few parks and green belts, are usually warmer than the countryside. This, however, does not affect global warming. Globally temperatures are averaged, and the cooler countryside balances out the warmer cities. Scientists measuring the temperature are always careful to make sure urban heat islands do not influence the temperature trends, which are increasing at the same rate in cities and countryside.
