    “From the exhaust the only thing that is emitted is air, of around zero to minus 15 degrees in temperature.”

    Thereby also reversing global warming!

    Not to mention cooling down NYC’s summers, much to Malcolm’s relief . . .

    ‘fraid not, Jeffery. It’ll disperse more heat to compress the air than you’ll cancel out when you expand it. It’s that doggone Second Law.

    But locally speaking, you’re right that the city streets might be a bit cooler in the summer as a result.

    Well . . . at least, it won’t contribute exponentially to global warming. That’s a convenient truth.
