We are warming but not at the alarming rate that they claim.

A lot of the warming is because of the Urban Heat Island effect, the majority of the weather stations used to be in open grassland are now surrounded by tar and cement and heat sources.
Then they manipulate the charts to make them look worse than they are.

Much of the warming IS anthropogenic

Abstract
This study aims to estimate the affect of urbanisation on daily maximum and minimum temperatures in the United Kingdom. Urban
fractions were calculated for 10 km × 10 km areas surrounding meteorological weather stations. Using robust regression a linear
relationship between urban fraction and temperature difference between station measurements and ERA-Interim reanalysis
temperatures was estimated. For an urban fraction of 1.0, the daily minimum 2-m temperature was estimated to increase by 1.90 ±
0.88 K while the daily maximum temperature was not significantly affected by urbanisation. This result was then applied to the whole
United Kingdom with a maximum T min urban heat island intensity (UHII) of about 1.7K in London and with many UK cities
having T min UHIIs above one degree.
This paper finds through the method of observation minus reanalysis that urbanisation has significantly increased the daily minimum
2-m temperature in the United Kingdom by up to 1.70 K.

we are warming because those DHeads started cutting down forest for giant solar plantation
