Funny how people will dismiss that which doesn't hit them personally as
non-existent. Try to explain why cities begin to warm up before sunrise
and you get right into the cause and effect part of things. All those
cars starting up to commute or park in a traffic jam cause the cities to
warm up a degree or two compared to the rural areas.
Explain that away.
