Bad harvests ( caused in part by extreme weather from El Niño along with volcanic activity at Laki and Grímsvötn in 1783 – 1784 ), rising food prices, and an inadequate transportation system that hindered the shipment of bulk foods from rural areas to large population centers contributed greatly to the destabilization of French society in the years leading up to the Revolution.

Various reasons have been suggested for the resistance to the Celsius system in the U. S., including the larger size of each degree Celsius ( resulting in the need for decimals where integer Fahrenheit degrees were adequate for much non-technical work ), the lower zero point in the Fahrenheit system ( which reduces the number of negative signs when measurements such as weather data were averaged ), and the more intuitive alignment of its 0-100 scale to the ordinary range of outdoor temperatures seen in most of the U.
