Die Klimazwiebel: Climate & Bicycles
Maybe I am completely wrong, but wouldn't a change to bicycles (and other non-emission vehicles) in big cities help to reduce urban heat, and, in the sense of Roger Pielke sr., maybe even contribute to help mitigate regional climate change phenomena? No, I don't say that riding a bicycle will stop global climate change - me not stupid! But wouldn't it contribute to a better environment for citizens?
Why the Antarctic Is Not Melting Anytime Soon « the Air Vent
You can see from this that there are very very few measurements ever taken on the Antarctic continent that exceed zero degrees Celcius. These are month long averages of course but from the area weighted plot only 1.8 percent of all of the temperature measurements have ever exceeded zero C for a monthly average. Also from this data, the average temperature for the Antarctic (summer, spring, fall and winter) is a bone chilling minus 26.29 degrees C. Twenty six degrees below freezing — average.

Only 0.1 % have ever exceeded 2C for a month.
