There is a great book on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Lie_with_Statistics
But you have to know enough statistics to be sneaky with it.
Globally, the total matters. By country, the per capita matters.
Disagree. What matters is the absolute number, and the direction that number is going in.
What matters is that the US' number keeps growing.
It hasn't. It's been down since 2007 despite increased population.
The article is literally about how it grew this year.
