It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

largest climate change legislation in human history

doubt

I guess that would make sense if you didn't know anything about any other country's climate legislation, which is presumably the case here.

The high-speed rail (HSR) network in the People's Republic of China (PRC) is the world's longest and most extensively used – with a total length of 45,000 kilometres (28,000 mi) by the end of 2023

How about this?

They probably either never heard of it or think it's fake potemkin train or are so brainwashed with car culture they think it's detrimental to China's development.

What the hell do they mean by "largest climate legislation in world history?"

I propose to the congress of ME that we make the entire world use renewable energy by 2069. 100% yes vote, the motion passes. There. I just passed the biggest bit of climate legislation in world history. Sure, literally nothing will happen due to this, but I passes the legislation. Which is apparently enough for libs. Completely empty promises with no goal on how to achieve them.

taking this at face value for a second - real shit? you mean to tell me that more climate legislation is being passed today than was being passed by the Roman Senate? The court of the Kangxi emperor was not passing climate legislation offering tax incentives to businesses in impoverished communities that can reduce their carbon footprint by 14% over 5 years?

Mongol and colonial euro empires killed so many people it had measurable effect on climate. I guess we know whose tradition US climate legislation do really uphold.
