CO2 and other greenhouse gases keep heat from radiating back into space

Aren't these temperature increases just because of increased urbanization?

A poorly sited temperature sensor in Marysville, California. The sensor is situation right next to an asphalt parking lot, instead in the middle of a grassy field, as it is supposed to be. The sensor is also adjacent to several several air conditioners that blow their exhaust into the air nearby.

Annual average maximum and minimum unadjusted temperature change calculated using (c) maximum and (d) minimum temperatures from good and poor exposure sites (Menne 2010).
http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1419
Poor sites showed a cooler maximum temperature compared to good sites.
http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1419
For minimum temperature, the poor sites were slightly warmer.

The net effect was a cool bias in poorly sited stations
