They’re pointing out that blacks, asians, and latinos are more likely to live in heat island type areas (as of 2001). Your summary implies that some kind of changes were observed or measured, which isn’t what they did. Nothing is ‘creating’ heat islands in this study, no one is ‘faring’, and if climate change ‘raises temps in urban areas’ it is not an effect visible in their data, which after all is from a single point in time.
