Industrial Revolution: Beginnings
built 657 days ago
The aim of this paper is to outline the causes, objectives, and organization of the Luddite movement in the Industrial Revolution, and the spate of industrial warfare that it set off throughout England. In addition, it seeks to rethink the efficacy of the movement as it affected the Industrial Revolution by making a case - as Eric Hobsbawn has done so convincingly - for a fairer estimation of the Luddites as a force of coercion against their employers. The limited life-span of Luddism, along with its rapid and crushing defeat, has suggested that machine-breaking was a dismal failure. And in some ways, this is true. But this is only part of the story. This essay will highlight some of the tangible successes of this collective bargaining by riot and sabotage, and will ... mention some of the values of the technique as they manifested themselves in contemporary working class conditions.

The third chart is of the last 200 years, encompassing the industrial revolution. Click on the charts for full screen versions. The charts were all taken from this web page. Notice on all three charts the recent rapid rise in CO2 on the right hand side of the chart WITHOUT an equivalent rise in the temperature. There was a rise in temperature but you would expect it to be more if the response was linear. This seems to be good evidence that the temperature response to rising CO2 levels is logarithmic, not linear.
