    Statistics are a summarization of data

    All fields use it.

    A statistic is that the climate will increase more than 1.5 degrees by the end of the century

    How we operationalize that information requires other statistical summaries BUT that does not negate the fact that we have passed a tipping point and people are dying because of it…

    That doesn’t absolve us of action now… Or risk of overstating the threat

    Another statistic is that most people don’t understand statistics

    Signed, an actual fucking statistician
