Review of Global Warming Urban Heat Island Forcing Issues Unaddressed by IPCC Suggestions Including CO2 Doubling Estimates

Authors: Alec Feinberg

In this paper we provide a review Urban Heat Island (UHI) important forcing effects related to albedo, humidity and rain water management issues unaddressed by IPCC suggestions. We first review historical global warming forcing trends by comparing CO2 prediction to Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) complex forcing influences. We review both CO2 and UHI forcing influence indicating that both can predict similar warming trends. In order to provide a more up to date investigate we present alternate results of recent studies. We then reviewed many other complex issues of UHIs pointing out additional related solar heating problems including humidity forcing and warm rain-water management from highly evaporating hot surfaces. Our review concludes that IPCC CO2 suggestions are not adequate to address the urgent need to reduce the rapid global warming trend. More drastic measures are needed, specifically a concerted worldwide geoengineering solar solution, including cool roofs, better UHI design, and reductions of known hotspots to reverse trends and prevent a tipping point.
