Yet Another Reason the Mainstream News Media is So Valuable

This from Yahoo News: Is Your City A 'Heat Island'? Scientists explore why cities are hotter than suburbs.

Hmm. Ah, well. Let's investigate this. Could it have something to do with all the concrete and big buildings, the lack of grass and trees, the fact that all of the exhaust from cars and buildings gets trapped and the fact that the level of sweat-drenched humanity per square foot is like 200 times greater in a city?

You don't need science to do come up with this 'hypothesis.' You just need a ticket to New York City, the right week in August and ride on the F train.
