Could be some press coverage - as it says there is no difference between urban and rural stations for temperature over the US ! Interesting to see if the skeptics pick up on this. They are probably still going through the Vinnikov/Grody paper in Science showing MSU2 warming more than the surface, so they have a lot to look at. I reviewed Peterson's one with Chris and couldn't see anything wrong with the main message.
