    I never understood how people couldn’t see that this is the logical result of moving heat from inside to outside.
    Like seriously, do people think the heat just goes away?

        Sure, individually. But in cities you’ve got tens of hundreds of thousands of buildings, if not millions, doing the exact same thing. Combine that with all the heat absorbed from asphalt, concrete, etc. We’ve known for a long time that cities are usually a few degrees F hotter than the surrounding area.
