"The only way to interpret statistics is with a healthy dose of skepticism and a thorough understanding of their context."
While people in this thread jump at the opportunity for this slice of statistics to affirm their confirmation biases, intelligent people will ask what the total carbon dioxide output looks like by comparison.
You're quick to imply that this study is bullshit, yet offer no counter argument except "believing statistics is for losers lul"
So where are your sources to refute the article?
Never said the study was bullshit. I just said to look at the bigger picture.
I would show you how Google works and provide an article, but your reading comprehension leads me to believe you'd come up with another straw man fallacy to support your confirmation bias.
Oh fuck off already, nobody cares.
Do we have an iamverysmart community? We could use one.
Lol you cared enough to respond. Sorry you're too stupid to hold a conversation.
