They are only one of several sources of the 'global temperature' scale, and they insist on giving more weight to earth stations near growing cities than anyone else does. I wonder why that is?

Science is all about consensus. The scientific consensus are the ideas which are used (assumed to be correct) every day in laboratories and institutions around the world, and without which no progress would occur. However, AGW is questioned by many serious scientists in the field. No way it rises to being a scientific consensus.
