While urban centers do create there own climate zones, that in no way disproves global warming. A simple look at our worlds poles or a Nothern Hemisphere Winter will suffice. These are different effects, but one does not negate the other. Also, global warming does not mean everywhere will get hotter (like California), it means places will get hotter on average.

Also, thanks for the clarification captain. As we know, heat is the result of work being done. In this case basically, making cool air by pulling hot air through cold coils, which are only cold because of the electricity working to do such.

Wikipedia says “In the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, heat is transferred from a lower temperature source to a higher temperature heat sink. Heat naturally flows in the opposite direction, and due to the second law of thermodynamics work is required to move heat from cold to hot. A food refrigerator or freezer works in much the same way; it moves heat out of the interior into the room in which it stands.”

The thermometer measures the temp of its surface, which is being increased by the heat pumped out of the nearby building.

On a related note, this just gives more credence to the enviro-loony groups that want us to live in caves – its all this asphalt, buildings, and motors that are heating up the planet.
