Fast urbanization may caused overestimation on global warming tendency, whereas the contribution of urbanization on global warming tendency has not been evaluated accurately. Compared with current methods, we hold the opinion that comparing the temperature records of relocated new meteorological stations with old ones is a better way to evaluate the urbanization contribution. So we searched literature about relocation stations on Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and studies contained temperature record of paired relocated old and new meteorological stations were selected. Consequently, we collected temperature records on 57 paired stations and found that the temperature of old stations was higher than new ones by 0.66℃ ( -0.90 to 1.63℃). The urbanization process could contribute more than 60% to the temperature increasing tendency; there are strong coincidences between the periods of temperature increasing and regional fast urbanization over the worldwide. In conclusion, the assessment of global warming by IPCC could be revised based on paired urban and rural temperature data sets of global relocated meteorological stations in the next report.
