Doomsday Argument

The Doomsday Argument in statistics concerns the question of whether or not future events – such as a global cataclysm caused by climate change, a massive pandemic, or an asteroid impact – have a significant enough probability of happening to warrant taking specific measures to prevent them.

Some statisticians argue that the evidence doesn’t support the idea that these events are very likely to happen, and so there is no reason to worry about them.
