Wow 99% eh? That seems like most of the signatories. Why then, after reading the list do I see mostly scientists, PHD students, biologists, geologists, zoologists, physicists, neuroscientists, and so on? And that is only page one of a much larger document.

You do realize climate change covers not just one discipline but multiple, overlapping ones?

Dishonest is correct, but not in the way you thought...

Agreed 100% (I am also a stick driver although it's becoming more difficult as manufacturers don't generally offer manual versions of their vehicles).

Look, if we wanted to get serious about preventing traffic fatalities right now and not wait for some future AI assisted driver, we could do three things:

- make it harder to get a license (it's a joke right now even with graduated licensing)
- re-test at least every 5 years
- increase the minimum driving age to at least 18

This is all I think about when I read these types of articles and proponents of self-driving vehicles cry about traffic fatality statistics.
