    This may not necessarily be a bad thing unless it's made into a bad thing by :porky-happy: . It may become necessary as the climate gets worse.

      Wouldn't it be better to build into hills or even construct artificial hills over a surface structure designed to accommodate the weight, so you're not just creating a giant well that you'll struggle to keep dry?

      Actually, if one's purpose building housing to handle severe weather and high temperatures there's tons of cheaper extant designs that do the trick, like just properly insulating a reinforced structure and then incorporating features that naturally cool air like towers that catch the wind and direct it down over cisterns or through cellars to cool it off even in the middle of the day.

        I remember them being pretty decent, but I read them as a liberal. I think it may have been closer to Lysenkoism than classic eugenics, but it's been quite a while since I read them.

          I read it only a couple years ago. Wasn't it about

          liberal eco-terrorists doing an accelerationism?

        I don't think most things will become necessary as climate gets worse. Some things will become outright impossible.

        Also, some things can be much worse than other things when :porky-happy: is applied, such as military technology. The equivalency is vague.
