I have read the site and it seems like a good idea they are supporting - build stations where human influence is minimal so we have more accurate readings. I would like to know exactly what the article you read stated still; this site is showing how temperature reading will be distorted by the presence of asphalt and heating exhausts and such, but I would not be highly concerned unless the conclusions drawn from all this data by the people who do the interpreting do not compensate for the obvious bias in temperature readings that are coming from poorly placed sensors.

The readings themselves may be biased, but if the article you read actually claimed that no one accounted for biasing factors then that is an entirely different story, as this is an issue that is well understood by the scientific community.
