   @MartinDeLaToot the amount of energy an object absorbs is directly inversely proportional to the amount of energy it reflects. Reflected energy isn't radiated, it's reflected. Absorbed energy is radiated.

   At least that's what I always understood.

     John and Adam seem to have a hard time understanding an object can absorb and reflect heat at the same time. It’s called radiation.

     @Chrisk @ned @MartinDeLaToot as I understand it, a lower albedo is not what causes it. The extra mass of concrete buildings acting as a thermal battery and lack of trees “breathing” and releasing moisture into the air accounts for most of the effect.
