what exactly is geo engineering for people who don't understand. geo engineering covers a range of technologies that are generic its mission i believe large scale intervention in the climate system in order to. offsets counter the effects of global warming and geo engineering technologies generally divided into two classes one is known as cabin dioxide will move all their us methods of getting caught in dark side out of the atmosphere and storing it some place safe and the second class is not in its solar radiation management a range of schemes essentially designed to reduce the amount of incoming solar radiation or sunlight reaching its surface. you know it seems like this is just a license to continue to pollute unabated i mean isn't this just a really arrogant concept that we can just continue to pollute and will this have these technologies to deal with it later. while the scientists who are becoming involved in cheering in research. would say that these ought not to happen that you're engine in should just buying a second time until we can get

>> that is a question ir jones d what is steal location -- geo location and how it applies. >> jones can be applied to a number of ways in which we use geolocation. we take a conservative approach because you did not know what will be the process of jones. i cannot say off of the top of my hand. >> is there a database of geo location data that is where house by the federal government? >> not the i am aware of. post-jones, there has been guidance given by the fbi. i would love to see that information. i have seen two on classifying documents through the freedom of information act. is that something you can share with his committee? >> i would have to look at that. if it is unclassified and internal, i would have to look at that. >> this telephone, the federal government has no problem following this phone, who i call. i call my 12 year old daughter, the telephone i call on and how long i had. i have a bill that i have sponsored that categorizes geo location as content as opposed to metadata. if you are going to follow with his telephone is, where it is, is that contour and? -- is that

market being sold off if you can what we don't actually know what happens to the go it's gone from geo d. there are two possible answers well probably three postpones to this the easiest one which nobody high. it's a tool is that some people who have the gold in might think i'm not sure that this is safe i'm going to take it out of jail do you three want to be authorized participants and i'm going to store it on to my own arrangements that's that's that's one holmes the other on three is that there are a lot of bulls of go who are westerners in their thinking they think in investment terms they have bought gold to sell it for profit in dollars or euros or whatever the base currency is and they have now been persuaded the gold is now no longer in a bull market so that is another source of selling the other possibility is that the authorized. participants who are basically the banks who. who who have been if you like of knowledge by the the managers of g.-o. d. that they can actually deliver stock in deliver gold in return for shares out and the reverse they could well be going short in

but the geo political implications in the nearer term are of course traumatic. the chinese will become as you kind of imply the largest most important player pretty quickly in the middle east. they're the ones that will have all the economics to gain or lose. already ten years ago in sub saharan after africa china invested 20 million, functionally nothing. now it's the world's-- in africa comes from china. they overwhelmingly the most important country. >> rose: are there consequence force that. >> first of all economic consequences which is you will use chinese labor. will you have chinese inputs. will you do chinese 4g on telecom and that can crowd out western firms in those sectors which is interesting. but there are political consequences because the chinese tell you to jump in that environment, how high would be the appropriate response. >> you know f you and hi that conversation as we often do here at this stable, six months ago, we would have a different or not outlook on the future of erd won and turkey. >> slightly different. >> you and i both know erdu

across the world china has meanwhile stayed silent on the issue of extraditing edward snowden to the us geo political analyst and founder of stop imperialism dot com eric draitser i spoke to a little earlier and he thinks that now may may have mean that more leaks are up his sleeve which he will strategically reveal. it will matic problems could arise but we also know that glenn greenwald along with snowden have not released all of the information it's entirely possible that they're holding something back to use as leverage particularly in that situation and i would also just like to add that those people who are demonizing snowden who are finding conspiracy theories within this they are the ones who are in fact tacitly supporting the police state the n.s.a. and the government essentially the argument goes that because we want to prevent the destruction of our open society and our democratic way of life we should therefore allow for the destruction of our democratic society an open way of life it is a circular argument and it makes no sense rather what we should be asking is why is such ram

we better make sure the customer is confident and secure in their geo-data. allowing somebody to see where you are. the customer has to give those permissions. i do not think it is our permission to give. there needs to be a transparency about this. the customer knows who, what companies, who is using that geo-data and how are they using it. that is important. you hit an interesting area. you are seeing business models beginning to develop in the marketplace. it is my data, why is x, y, z going to make all of the money off of my data? is there a way customers might be able to monetize their own data? in this industry, the data side of it is going to be a big driver. it will be where a lot of value is created for the consumer as well as for companies. the amount of investment that is going into these networks, the amount of innovation going into the capabilities, i do not believe all of the returns on this are going to be monetized by sending 100 million customers the bill. some amount of this will be monetized i the customers of allowing the companies to mone

anyway one of the geo political implications of this well this is a trend that has been going on since the mid seventy's it started with the oil crisis and you had lots and lots of arab governments with huge amounts of dollars from the hike in the oil prices and they wanted some way to put it and obviously they were balancing the risk of all these dollars that they had which you know is very welcome because it gives enormous spending power with some go in order to balance the risk that the dollars might not be worth quite what the federal reserve board says though so that process continued it's been going on the whole time with india last time i was on your show i gave you the example of. you know the indian who who in one hundred sixty five when he was a young man probably first bought gold at one hundred eighty rupees and today it's i mean it's been up to ninety five is about eighty thousand rupees now i mean there is no better no better head against a disappearing rupee that is never a second because i make this comment on my my tweet stream often to people that they should be buyin

how certain are geo technical engineering that the actual proximity of the fault is in fact going to affect how strong the ground motion is? does a mile make a difference? >> it came out in kobe earthquake. >> i was actually there. >> the roof came off. it was hard to stand up. i was 6, 7 miles away. in the city, people couldn't stand up. >> they determined using excellerateom ters. you will have near field effect, the easy way to explain it, if you were standing next to a rail road track. the train makes sound and generates and the sound waves tumble. the same thing happens with an earthquake. those /tkpwraupbd waves tumble upon themselves and increase the intensity of the shaking. it's called near field effect. we probably won't get that on the haward fault, but on the san andreas fault. they will have very pronounced shaking. we will also have more interaction because of poor soils that interact with earthquake waves. you can have a moderately distant waves and it will be higher in the bay area and people don't realize how much of the city has been filled. there's a tremendous amo

testing laboratory and so we do special inspection of reinforced concrete, welding, fire-proofing, soils, geo technical work. all of the things that make a building stand up and we test all of these materials in our laboratory as well. we test the concrete and we pull the rebar. we do all of these things that sort of makes sure that the buildings are constructed as they were intended to be constructed. and that they perform as they were intended to perform in a seismic event. >> the work that we do is important, and i am very proud of it. and excited about what i do every day. but, enough about what we do, let's talk about you guys. so, as a testing laboratory, by the way, our guys push pencil and they don't push wheel barrows you want to come and see me with the job, those are the guys with clip boards writing things down and making sure that things are done properly, they are working hard and make no mistake about that, the responsibility and the pressure can be enormous. but the work is generally not too physical. our employees are operating engineer, local three. and i heard some gentlema

and in the meantime eric draitser a new york based geo political analyst he believes the government and the media are in cahoots waging a concentrated smear campaign against snowden in the united states we see a concerted propaganda campaign designed to demonize and to destroy the image if not the total character of snowden and we see this happening from the right wing and also from the left wing those who are attacking glenn greenwald for his revelations and snowden themselves this is now becoming a real story in the united states the way in which the controlled media is attacking snowden and serving the interests of the surveillance state and the partisanship behind president obama the united states certainly will not give up we've seen cases of extraordinary rendition from all over the globe carried out by the united states and it wasn't just in the context of so-called terrorists if i were snowden i would be working under the assumption that there really is no place anywhere on earth that will be one hundred percent safe but i think that the strategy that is taken incorporating chin
