Temperature Control Towers for Urban Centers: Global Climate Control
I have come across an Economist article which postulated that air conditioning will be required by ever larger numbers of people to survive global warming, which in effect will add to the rising global temperatures. Perhaps there is a way to avoid having to deploy all these new air conditioning units across cities, without resorting to air conditioning entire blocks by using the canopy solution that I've been proposing for shading streets and bringing full on climate control to municipalities. What if we used the geothermal model of heating and cooling, and applied it to atmospheric cooling of urban centers?
Cities could create a climate control mechanism where very tall towers are built for pumping air into the upper atmosphere. This would serve to create an inward draft into the cities which generally experience hotter weather than the suburbs and thus lower the urban temperatures. While the hot air trapped by the city's concrete is cooled as it enters the atmosphere above the weather, new cooler air would rush in from either geothermal vents or from outside of the cities. This can reduce the need for air conditioning in large cities and can actually work as a global climate control technology, if enough cities control their temperature in this manner.
The Chinese have built much lower towers for pollution control, which serve to filter the urban air. This is what came to my mind as a solution for air conditioning. Pollution and ozone in the cities could also be thus put into the upper atmosphere, where carbon dioxide and ozone actually aren't considered to be pollutants. Moreover, the inward draft from outside of the cities would bring in suburban air which is generally richer in oxygen due to larger amount of vegetation. This too would improve urban air quality. The system can have a global effect by lowering or controlling global temperatures as hot city air pupped above the weather will cool off.
A modular approach to build these towers will clearly be the best approach. I have plugged this idea, and the Broad Group has demonstrated how quickly tall buildings can be assembled using my approach. In fact, the company was going to build the tallest building in the world in this fashion. These towers have to go above the weather to create a climate control mechanism. They have to be earthquake and hurricane resistant, as their structural failure would cause them to collapse on top of residential areas. To be cost effective, the climate and pollution control towers have to present a long term utility. Present day global warming and the trajectory for ever greater atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide make this solution into a viable technology.
"The sky temperature is just above freezing (34 degrees Fahrenheit or 1 degree Celsius). The cloud temperature is considerably warmer (65 degrees F or 18 degrees C)." This means that circulating the air, where hot air from city streets is pumped above the weather is cooled or exhausted, and the cool air is pumped back down into the city (clearly not at street level, as people would complain about having near freezing temperatures in summertime) but somewhere higher, probably above the city's tallest buildings, will have a dramatic cooling effect for the entire urban area. Obviously the city temperature can thus be controlled to anything between a few degrees C and whatever it is that people want. Heating can similarly be done with geothermal technology to reduce winter cold. This would create a global climate control capability, provided people could agree on what they want, as far as temperature ranges for particular seasons. Existing buildings that are tall enough to go above the weather can also be incorporated into this city cooling scheme by simply creating heat exchange vents going to the top of the buildings which rise above the clouds.

"China is already the world’s largest manufacturer and biggest exporter."
"The biggest effect will be that China becomes the leading beneficiary of what economists call agglomeration effects."
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-12-18/china-as-no-1-economy-to-reap-benefits-that-once-flowed-to-u-s
"Agglomeration economies are the benefits that come when firms and people
locate near one another together in cities and industrial clusters. These benefits all ultimately come from transport costs savings: the only real difference
between a nearby fi rm and one across the continent is that it is easier to connect with a neighbor. Of course, transportation costs must be interpreted
broadly, and they include the difficulties in exchanging goods, people, and
ideas. The connection between agglomeration economies and transport
costs would seem to suggest that agglomerations should become less important, as transportation and communication costs have fallen. Yet, a central paradox of our time is that in cities, industrial agglomerations remain
remarkably vital, despite ever easier movement of goods and knowledge
across space."

Communication wise, my ideas for tech companies to field products like the smartphone and the tablet computer, have pushed the world economy towards informational agglomeration that brings companies and businesses together globally. For instance my programmers could move to Spain, but I could still work with them from Poland using the internet with the servers being in USA. New infrastructure like the New Silk Road, has a similar agglomeration effect. Eurasian Hyperloop system will bring businesses much closer together, especially if it is deployed with package, cargo and passenger services.
1/3 of China's GDP is now in the tech sector. 9 of 10 world's biggest tech companies are Chinese. The reason why their market cap is lower than their American counterparts is because they charge reasonable prices, which is reflected in China's GDP PPP. As the yuan gains in strength, as it inevitably will, the market cap for Chinese tech companies will rise and they will take of for the American monopolists.

$100,000 per year.
That's $1,800,000.00 for 18 years. Deduct Social Security and taxes, each year. Than put the money in my PayPal account.
To have a comparison between the effort by CIA and the US military in the so called 'war on terror' one should use but only two variables.
1. Lives lost.
2. Economic damage.
To illustrate the disparity, compare the 6,000 fatalities in hurricane Maria alone, to all the American deaths related to terrorism, and the respective economic damage to $91.61 billion i devastation inflicted by the tropical cyclone on Puerto Rico.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Maria
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States
In 2,872 terrorist incidents since 1970, USA saw 3,781 fatalities and some buildings were destroyed, worth less than $3 billion combined. Maria alone exceeds that by a factor of 2 in fatalities and by a factor of 30 in economic damage.
Americans have pretty much engaged in punitive expeditions across the Muslim world, not any attempt to stabilize nation states, develop economies or bring stability to any of them. If that was the goal, then the wars were not lost, but successfully prolonged to inflict maximum pain and damage. I'd imaging that the 'gloves off' approach that CIA had, has never really changed. Provocation and mind control of insurgents to terrorism against Muslim nation states, resulted in those nation states turning against Islamist insurgents (i.e. 'terrorism') regardless of their political convictions; it resulted in authoritarian rulers squashing all efforts to bring democratic change, but ruthlessly destroying Islamist insurgencies. Authoritarian rulers on the other hand are good for the American military industrial complex in three ways: 1.) they buy American weapons as importers, 2.) the insurgents and proxies they foment through oppression are supplied with weapons through various sponsors 3.) as violence persists, USA can justify ever larger military and clandestine service expenditures, which in turn mean more equipment purchases from the US military industrial complex.
Also. The stated goal of Iraq and Afghan wars, as Bush put it, was to bring Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden dead or alive. To smoke them out. Well. If that was the goal... it worked both ways. Either way, they're both dead now. So at least those two 'objectives' of these wars were reached. Now, whether USA remains in Afghanistan and Iraq to control the territories to exploit the countries' resources, that's another question. Clearly Americans want Iraq oil and Afghan heroin to keep flowing into the arteries of the world economy and the veins of geopolitical adversaries, as their oil companies and banks profit on both. If resource grab and plunder were the goals, these have succeeded very well.
Now about the bloodshed. Muslims dying as punishment for 9/11 is part of the 'never forget' motto. These wars and provocations can go on in perpetuity. Just as with creating market demand for American weapons and profiting from occupied countries' resources, bloodletting may very well be the unspoken goal of these wars.
So let's see whether Americans are losing the Iraq and Afghan wars:
1. punitive death tolls, disabilities and suffering: genocidal levels. objective gained.
2. exploitation of invaded countries resources. objective gained.
3. killing or capture of Hussein and bin Laden. objective gained.
4. creation of demand for US arms export & domestic purchases. objective gained.
then there is oil production control...
5. control of oil prices by militarily & clandestinely engaging (as ally or foe) of hydrocarbon exporters. objective gained (even in Ukraine! paradoxically, the warring sides there are calling each other 'terrorists')
That's 5 of 5. If these were the objectives. The question remains: at what point will Americans have enough of Muslim blood, money and oil? Also, as authoritarian regimes persist and new insurgent groups resort to terrorism, so will calls for new dictators and terrorist group leaders to be eliminated. Libya's Qaddafi is dead, its regime gone, so is Saleh in Yemen, just like bin Laden, and Hussein. What where the objectives of these wars if not regime change? Bloodshed and oil price control by taking production off line in Yemen and Libya resulted in USA as number one oil and gas producers completely recovering its economy. So did USA really lose in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria? It depends on what you consider the goals to be. If you consider what I've listed as the goals, then USA is batting 5 for 5.

- Did those superior numerically win?
- How often were wars won by those who fought on their own territory?
- What was the reason for war? Territorial dispute? Political dispute? Maritime dispute?
- Was territory ever gained by the loser in wars?
Nominal GDP
2008 4.598 trillion to 2017 12.327 trillion - GDP grew by a factor of 2.68
PPP GDP
2008 7.973 trillion to 2017 23.120 trillion - GDP grew by a factor of 2.90
Thus, GDP PPP grew by a factor of 2.90 vs nominal by a factor of 2.68. This means present Chinese growth as reflected in nominal terms does not correctly reflect Chinese growth in GDP PPP terms, there exists a growth rate discrepancy, if this trend continues the gap will widen; meaning that in the long term the GDP nominal and GDP PPP will further shift apart. It also means that China get much more bang for the buck, literally, PRC 2017 military spending was worth 23,210/12,237 or 1.9 times as much as the nominal dollar amount. China has spent about 1.02 trillion yuan on the military in 2017, or $161.9 billion, but the actual PPP value of that spending is $307.08 billion in terms of purchasing power. Then there are other considerations, like conscription and veteran services, on the one hand China doesn't pay as much for its soldiers and it doesn't have many veterans to take care of, because it's not perpetually entangled in wars... this means most of Chinese military spending goes to new equipment which results in economic and technological growth.

FACTS to consider: who actually FOUGHT the Turkish proxy ISIS?
- Russians.
- Americans and the coalition, which included Saudi Arabia
- the Assad regime
- Kurds in both Syria and Iraq
- Iranians
- Lebanese
... but NOT the Turks. Not even when ISIS conducted GENOCIDE against Kurdish civilians in a town near their border. That kind of demystifies the whole war, doesn't it?!
See the side that conducted air strikes against Turks' ISIS proxy: it INCLUDES both USA and Saudi Arabia. How realistic is it that Saudis or Americans continued to sponsor ISIS as a proxy, even as they bombed them to stop a genocide of Kurds?! Who actually wants to mass murder Kurds and has conducted a policy of ethnic cleansing for nearly half a century? Who is NOT on the allied side backing the Kurds against ISIS? Yeah. TURKEY. The Battle of Kobane took place in 2014, ISIS continued as a Turkish proxy until its near demise for another 4 years! Who supplied them? Where did their manpower come from? Not Jordan. Not Shia Iraq. Not the Assad regime. Not Lebanon. Not Israel. TURKEY!
Siege of Kobanî
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Koban%C3%AE
- Europe did not sponsor ISIS
- Turkey does not police ISIS activities on their territory
- ISIS linked attacks in Turkey targeted REGIME OPPONENTS or FOREIGNERS
- Turkey used this proxy against Germany and EU for refusing to admit their regime into EU
- Turkey used ISIS proxy to retaliate against EU & USA for backing Kurds

Which brings us to the mysterious disappearance of Austin Bennett Tice. ISIS never claimed to have him. Assad never claimed to have him. Kurds would never hold him captive. So where is he? The only rational explanation is the Turks have him. Next thing you know there'll be a tape of CIA showing up in Istanbul and a tape of Tice being cut into pieces will surface. You watch.

USA is a belligerent state actor that criminally invades and ruins other countries one after another. It conspires to overthrow other countries' gov'ts, and has done this dozens of times. It now possesses a criminal arsenal of nuclear weapons, banned by the UN, as well as biological and world's largest stockpile of chemical weapons. It threatens to wipe out countries in a nuclear holocaust routinely to terrorize them to do their bidding, and can point to a historical precedent where it nuclear bombed civilians in at least two cities when their ultimatums were not complied with.
Let us assume that China, also a nuclear power, demands that USA disarms. Then China places sanctions on USA. USA wants to build the Keystone pipeline (a violation of the Paris Agreement) and to connect rail road links to Canada to import its oil. Canada wants to do this to make money, so China threatens Canada with sanctions to stop it, because the American war criminals refuse to give up weapons of mass destruction. See the picture?
Now tell me that Americans telling North and South Koreans they can't connect their families with a railroad aren't TOTALLY absurd.

...then United States is at war with the world, and the European Union in particular, because it uses not only propaganda and hacking, but cybernetic weapons, mind invasion, mind control, torture, terrorism, financial attacks, blackmail etc.
Also, USA has been at war with the Soviet Union in this manner and it has NOT been a Cold War. USA used cybernetic weapons to blow up gas pipelines. USA used terrorist proxies in Afghanistan to mass murder Russian civilians and attack Russian military and its equipment. USA attacked nuclear infrastructure. USA used massive state propaganda and electronic warfare, not limited to Voice of America or some books like Doctor Zhivago, but malicious attacks across all fabrics of economic activity and life in the Warsaw Pact.
Finally, USA has not stopped these attacks which include, financial fraud, economic attacks, and internet monopolists attacks on countries' economies and political systems using US regime controlled communication and computer equipment. The American regime uses companies like Apple, Google or Facebook to destroy the European Union by obtaining political objectives like referenda to split it apart, defraud taxes, rob people of patents and technologies, destroy public trust in European institutions as they've done in Poland, sink countries into economic collapse like they've done defrauding Greek national debt and then crying wolf about Grexit in corporate mediate for over a decade until British were manipulated by Facebook which also participated in a coup in USA.
Finally, the criminal genocidal American regime TORTURES and MURDERS European Union citizens globally in directed energy cybernetic attacks like those against myself and my family, as well as false flag attacks on European civilians like those on board of flight MH-17 set up to be killed by Russian air defenses in Eastern Ukraine. Then there is physical kidnapping, torture and murder of EU residents and citizens, as part of CIA criminal conspiracies to destroy human rights values across the European Union by corrupting clandestine services of individual nation states to become murderous sadistic terrorist regimes like they are, which was done with both terrorist proxies, CIA kidnapping, extraordinary rendition program, or American programs of biological weapons of mass destruction like the one in Georgia which murdered nearly 100 civilians. These actions aren't simply self serving criminal acts of the American regime, they are aimed at subjugating individual states to act against European law in defiance of human right and to force them to deny this publicly. They are attacking the European Union and European unity in this way, while pretending to fight terrorism and THAT is their desired intent, not any interrogations of kidnapping victims. The targets and suspects they value Americans murder, not capture.

1. Accumulation of capital stock
2. Increases in labor inputs, such as workers or hours worked
3. Technological advancement"
https://www.stlouisfed.org/on-the-economy/2015/june/what-drives-long-run-economic-growth
First let us note that availability of resources isn't one of these factors. Resources can be purchased on global markets which means whoever has the capital is better positioned to compete against those who don't have it, resources can also be mined or conquered in war. Let's review this backwards.
3. China is at the forefront of technological advancement. It also can acquire newest technologies by buying patents and training its labor force by educating it abroad and gaining intimate knowledge of technologies, before they are deployed by doing research for foreign companies and governments.
2. Chinese labor market does not discriminate based on gender, due to which Americans for instance lose 5% of their GDP. The country has a decent social safety net, an increasingly educated labor force, is engaged in a program to improve intelligence population wide, is deploying robots and AI which removes constraints on the labor force productivity, and it has the LARGEST labor force in the world.
1. Yuan is a reserve currency. Chinese interests will be protected by an increasingly modern and more competent military able to project power globally. China is generating billionaires at the fastest rate in the world. Accumulation of wealth is measured in a number of ways, including the value of new infrastructure, household wealth, and actual capital accrual as defined by monetary instruments. This last part is where China can do better. The AIIB is one way to finance Chinese projects around the world. The Eurasian Entrepreneurship Bank which I've proposed is another. However, China should also take advantage of its vast computing power and embrace cryptocurrency. It should mine whatever cryptocurrencies are available world wide to control a dominant market share. This will serve as both a reserve and a means of generating purchasing power by the Chinese government without actually issuing new currency on its own, thus raising the value of Yuan without investing in American dollar denominated debt, which props up the value of a competitive reserve currency. China should also look to issue new currency as Americans have done and simply spend it by putting it into circulation without generating new debt. The Chinese economy grows at some 6% or more per year, this mean China should be able to add at least 6% in new Yuan liquidity to the markets on annual basis. As Yuan gains its share as a global reserve currency, China should also take that into account and increase liquidity as its share rises. Issuing and spending more Yuan denominated capital will not cause its inflation, if there is a corresponding economic growth domestically and globally which needs additional liquidity.

During the 1991 Gulf War, the public was led to believe the that the Patriot had near-perfect performance, intercepting 45 of 47 Scud missiles.
