So, are they going to add that to the 50 million refugees displaced by rising sea levels in 2010? Oh yeah... that didn't happen either.

The UN disappears 50 million climate refugees, then botches the disappearing attempt, from What's Up With That

There is absolutely no way to prove this stat.

It's not a statistic, it's a prediction. A statistic is a fact. The number of people out of work is a statistic. Predictions about the effects public policy (interest rate, stimulus, whathaveyou) on unemployment are predictions. Adding error bars to predictions does not make them statistics, or in anyway enhance their reliability.

It's a statistic....A statistic is not always a fact.

They are in all cases, a result of a whole bunch of numbers.

You're making up an answer to fit your mindset.

“”Being new here I was under the impression it is a rule here to post before reading...””

THAT will get you in trouble every time - posting before reading! You can bet someone will jump down your throat. I made a vow at the beginning of the year to READ before POSTING but seems I can’t keep my vow! I’ll try to do better.

By the way - WELCOME! It’s not always this nuts but election time scrambles the brains here!

And Iran with nuclear weapons could cause 10 million deaths bt 2030.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

No. 250,000 will die of natural causes.

The Warmists will simply count them twice.

No. By definition a statistic is a fact. People misuse and abuse statistics all the time. The reported number of people unemployed is a statistic. The actual number is unknowable. Intellectual honesty would require one to make these kinds of distinctions, but that rarely happens.

The number of people who "died of" cancer in the United States is unknowable, and the concept is probably at best epistemologically dubious, but the number of people who are reported to have died of cancer, based on death certificates is a neat little number. A statistic. A fact.

Climate change could cause 500,000 more deaths by 2050, OR NOT
