It seems very unlikely that this report would fall into the well-known problem of not accounting for urban heat islands:

Are you specifically clamining that the authors ignored this ?

You can only avoid this effect by not using urban stations, claiming the effect is small doesn't solve the problem.

I am specifically claiming that there is no known global temperature dataset that is frequently used in such alarming studies and contains no stations affected by the UHI effect. Since the linked article contains no references or links to sources, I cannot be more specific.
