No I don't think they do, american feeds on cable come across untouched for content, except of course ads....

accident rate have been dropping for decades, cell phone use has skyrocketed, so why are accidents rates still dropping??? if it's an actual crisis and not just a moral panic, why are accident rate not going up???

I have one in my van, we don't use it all the time, but we do use it for longer trips (2 hours+). It's just one more option (including books, travel games, talking) that makes trips a little less boring. We live in western Canada travel more than 40,000 km's per year, for work, sports, visiting family, vacations,... Sitting in vehicle for 8 hours of driving over a weekend, is a lot to ask from little kids.

I hope this doesn't spread, we need all the heat from the sun we can get up here in Canada,... Trouble is legislators/regulators tend to follow the leader and not think for themselves. Using this kind of glass in colder climates would be a big mistake. For example today at 8 degrees Celsius, my car interior was warm when I got in it a little bit ago, with all frost melted off.

The problems due to y2k were for the most part well understood and easily fixed. Also even if left unfixed they could not possibly have caused a meltdown of our society. The main thing we should have learned from y2k was we should avoid the massive overstatement of the risk and just plain fabrication that went on in the lead up to the big day.

for example, you mentioned the polar bear issue, the actual numbers indicate (something like) only 5 of 17 populations of polar bears are decreasing, other are stable or increasing, which is what one would expect from any species.

Questioning the conclusions of science is a critical part of good science. When we start to discourage open and transparent discussion based on fact we all lose.
