En un clima preindustrial se generarían esas tormentas, pero no serían tan virulentas ni tendrían tanto poder destructivo

Climate change increased both the intensity and geographic extent of Valencia’s 2024 extreme rainfall event, with the affected area 55% larger than in preindustrial conditions. doi.org/hbpp3d
Climate change widened Valencia's 2024 extreme rain footprint by 55%, study finds
Human-driven climate change intensified rainfall that triggered Spain's deadliest natural disaster in a generation when flash floods hit the Valencia region in 2024, a new study showed on Tuesday.

men and women are economic classes that exist to maintain a vestigial hierarchy from a preindustrial division of labor. it claims "biological realities" as its material basis and then violently maintains these supposed realities by extinguishing anything that goes against that

One person being able to move 125 cubic feet of earth in 6 seconds radically changes what a preindustrial society is capable of. Hell, any construction crew *today* would kill for someone who can do that.

19th century Ice based refrigeration would be a thing.

La aceleración del calentamiento global en este dato:

➡️Hace 30 años casi no existían los días con un temperatura de +1 ºC respecto al nivel preindustrial.

➡️En los últimos 3 años, TODOS los días han estado a + 1 ºC.

➡️En 2025, más de un tercio (151) superaron los 1,5 °C.

Por tercer año consecutivo, todos los días de 2025 fueron más de 1 °C más cálidos que el nivel preindustrial de 1850-1900.
Más de un tercio de los días superaron los 1,5 °C.
🌡️ For the third year in a row, every day in 2025 was more than 1°C warmer than the 1850–1900 pre-industrial level. Over a third of days were above 1.5°C.

Uh oh — The ESABCC describes current efforts to adapt to rising temperatures as “insufficient, largely incremental [and] often coming too late” in a new report that advises officials to prepare for a world 2.8-3.3C hotter than preindustrial levels by 2100.

And to be clear I wouldn’t say class societies are anywhere near universal either! (I also get a little nervous when I hear people describe preindustrial societies as “communist/communism” is any sense; that always seems like shoehorning something in where it’s not applicable)

Tipping points of the #Antarctic ice sheet revealed!

Temperatures of 1–2 °C above preindustrial levels triggers the long-term collapse of 40% of marine ice in West Antarctica once the ice sheet fully responds.

Marine-based sectors in East Antarctica are at risk of losing stability at 2–5 °C.
🔔🚨 New Publication Alert!

Research has shown that the Antarctic Ice Sheet is a climate tipping element.

We found: it’s not one — it’s many.

New study analyses the tipping points of different #Antarctica drainage basins.

A first threshold, 1–2 °C above preindustrial levels, triggers the long-term collapse of 40% of marine ice in West Antarctica!

Marine-based sectors in East Antarctica are at risk of losing stability at 2–5 °C.

the fact that no one we know of has ever lived to 125 is so frustrating to me. i want to talk to people who remember what life was like preindustrial revolution.

Beware of cries and pleadings of any kind of system collapse. Especially if you have not made any preparations for full ownership of shelter/housing, water, food and functional preindustrial skill sets.

me trying to explain feudalism to my players: it’s like capitalism except you do nothing but preindustrial agricultural labor, you get no consumer goods, and your boss has an Abrams tank he can kill you with whenever he wants.

I read this as early modern values refusing to die. cruelty is how you get peasant farmers to do your bidding in sublinear preindustrial societies, and our collective lizard brains are having a hard time letting that go (for very motivated reasons in many cases!)

so, my guess is "absolutely yeah"

I took an anthro course at Berkeley from Laura Nader (Ralph's sister) on law in preindustrial societies. Humans everywhere have had law for millennia before Exodus was set down in writing. Bottom line: the Ten Commandments have been hyped into singularity when they are in fact a commonplace.

"But that is just the start. Climate change is gathering pace. The last three years have been the hottest on record, with both 2023 and 2025 nearly reaching 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels, and 2024 hitting 1.55 degrees."

Por supuesto es estúpido de narices ignorar la magia de creación, pero en un mundo preindustrial tiene su lógica, y más cuando se ha inculcado la importancia de las magias elementales y que estas pueden crear lagos en minutos, quemar un ejército en segundos y cambiar el terreno por años.

If you are a billionaire certainly.

If you wish to return to an era of preindustrial inequality and complete lack of social mobility sure.

But not for the rest of us who’d like the chance to improve our situation.
