This attracted more rain from the monsoons that earlier would pass by without interest.
Now the monsoon clouds, lightened after crossing the western ghats, dipped lower due to the cooler climate and shed some more of their weight — rainfall more than doubled. This AC needed no energy and was almost zero maintenance. The problem of water scarcity was solved. Other side-effect such as the creation of a rich layer of topsoil that remained moist and a high water table also created lasting benefits in food security and livelihoods.
Economics is a social creation. In kempegaudanomics , there was no GDP number to grow, no single number to worship. Thus, kempegaudanomics did not reduce other sacred beliefs, it retained and strengthened the religious beliefs. Land, water — all of nature — had social and spiritual value and connections with them were not broken. Rather relationships with them were nurtured and even revered. A culture that involved sacred relationships with water all rivers were named after goddesses and actively demanded conservation could flourish.
The commons and the common good had status in kempegaudanomics , and improving both, created value. The salubrious climate of Bengaluru attracted many rulers and it was exchanged several times.
It attracted many Europeans, Anglo-Indians and missionaries. The sacred water culture gave way to an engineered water culture. There were more tanks to store more water to satisfy rising demand.
A demand fueled by a growing population and a new lifestyle of consumption. When the British left, the city still continued to grow, especially in scientific research and aeronautics. While we do not have any solid historical proof for the first man-made climate change in Bengaluru, the second is fact. Experienced palpably by all the residents. In the s Bengaluru started getting transformed. Ironically, it was the reverse transformation of Singapore. Singapore recognised its cesspool conditions and started cleaning up and creating lakes for water security.
The great transformation took off with the complete adoption of smithanomics in the s. It was to transform this cool city back to a warm dry place and, even beyond, into a hothouse.
The groves of trees, hundreds of years old, with trunks as wide as cars were axed. In smithanomics , the value of a living tree is zero, but the activity of cutting down trees and the resources from their chopped-up state both add measurable increase to the economy. T V Ramachandra and Dr. Cutting trees, that slow down rainwater flow and created moisture both in the root zone and in the air above, is not enough, you have to replace them with heaters.
Trees use solar energy to produce oxygen, moisture, and fruits while providing shade and soil and slowing down the rain. They heat up quickly, stay warm, and release the heat later, both into the ground and the air. The remaining stump of a massive tree which would have cooled the building, parking lot, road, and cars.

Flyovers take this heat generation to new levels of efficiency. A flyover basks in the sun, is dark in color, and thus can easily become hot enough to cook on. Lakes of water keep the ground and air cool and moist.
The conversion destruction of lakes created much financial activity for builders, bureaucrats, politicians, and banks. And consumers and investors flocked in to own homes and offices. In addition, since a quality water supply became absent, tankers and household filters become prominent. Amazing progress when calculated in smithanomics terms. It is the Kempegowda International Airport.
The second source of heating comes from all our appliances. Cars, trucks, diesel gensets DGs , refrigerators, outdoor lights, and other big items of course generate the most heat. But millions of smaller appliances such as set-top boxes, microwaves… all the way down to chargers also end up contributing to local heating.
The laws of thermodynamics inform us that all appliances that use the transformation of energy will generate more heat than the actual work performed. So refrigerators generate around four times as much heat as they cool. We love our cars, which are truly efficient heaters.
In Bangalore traffic, only a couple of percent of the fuel burnt in the engine goes towards transportation. More if the car has an AC. The particulates in the emissions also impact climate.
