FROM DAN, CAAN CONTRIBUTOR:
The .8 median changes in temperature over the past 20 years proves why high density city planning is affecting the measurements at Sydney Observatory, and why it needs to be stopped being used as a data source.
Or at least the sensors connected to ethernet and fibre spread around the city; but they will still be affected by thermal mass.
At least it proves poor planning and compounding thermal mass is a big problem.
It is picking up changes from all the concrete, and motorways around it!
26.2 to 27 in January over 20 years. It’s exponentially caused by unsustainable slum cities.
- That is a rise of 0.8 degree over 20 years in the Sydney CBD in January. Because of concrete thermal mass and over development. Heat coming off from cars on the motorway might add to it also.
- Barrangaroo just at the back of it instead of being turned into a public green space; has been rubbished for absolute corruption. An abomination now turned over to Macau Casino mafia.
