Eg. A road that took 4 cars a day now has only 1. A road that took 6000 now sees 10,000.
The scale of the 2 changes here is so different % comparisons are irrelevant.

Bloomberg, in its climate excitement
claims that floods and landslides are becoming more frequent

@FraserNelson Pupils taking a language at GCSE = 10% state schools, 30% independent schools. School trips, partner schools etc. Mandarin is tiny (total 5504 pupils, 4.5% of those taking French) and many are native speakers. British Council source. #badstatistics
@stillawake When records began there were none so it will grow. Grow fast enough? Unlikley. #badstatistics

@zerohedge I’m sorry but this “poll” is garbage. They way they are polling is NOT accurate. They are overstating the LGBT crowd by 5% ACROSS THE BOARD. #badStatistics

Cycling is dangerous! The bike is the most deadly form of transport in the Netherlands. More people die in traffic from accidents when cycling than any other mode of transport!

@SkyNews why is the UK bar longer than the German bar when the % are the same? Is this just so your reporter can say (which they did) that we are the worst in Europe?

If this trend keeps up, North Carolina's primary elections will be entirely decided by people living in other countries #ncpol #badstatistics
The first votes of the May 2022 primary in North Carolina have been cast!
An unaffiliated Cornelius voter in Madrid voted with a democratic ballot and a Haywood County democrat voted from London #ncpol
@SabraLane @DianaRyall No it doesn't.
It reveals Australian will lie on a Survey, an then Vote completely the opposite way.

Want to live longer? Try going to the opera. Researchers in Britain have found that people who reported going to a museum or concert even once a year lived longer than those who didn’t. https://t.co/ViHTXbSfyG
