Does the IPCC account for asphalt expansion (added heat) around all the airport sensors as cities expand? What data source do they use to track and compensate for this growth?

Yes. Some data-source that already takes that into account, that issue has been already solved.

Most uncertainty in temperature does not come from measured temperature (weather stations) but from temperature estimations from indirect sources. In other words, last 50 years data is pretty much all good.
