This is a large part of why you tend to see higher temps in cities than in the country, even on a day when not as many are driving, like on the "Day without an illegal alien" or whatever it was called when all the illegals took the day off to "show the white man how much he needs them"
This is basic physics, common knowledge stuff Mule

Well, since concrete is white & reflective, concrete should be cooler than dirt. Balance the use of blacktop & concrete & we should be cool!
I'm not saying we have zero impact. But I am saying that one good volcano has more impact in an afternoon than man has in 10,000 years. The Earth has very good recovery ability.
