Statistics

AITOOW understands that most statistics are estimates. Whether it's the fish population in the Amazon or CO2 levels, they are calculated using methods that have huge rates or error. Another factor that makes these estimates highly questionable is when and how they were calculated. Take global warming for instance. Do you really think that the temperatures on record from one hundred years ago were accurately taken by some douche bag with a mercury thermometer? That's if they weren't just making up numbers like you do with business expenses. And we haven't even gone into massaging the numbers.
