Population Predictions
In almost all cases, extrapolation will lead to inaccurate predictions. It's impossible to know how inaccurate they are until they can be tested. Researchers and scientists know this and try to adjust their predictions based on the many different variables and logical reasoning available to them.
In this lesson video you will see how researchers in the UK are taking into account many different variables when trying to predict the future population of the world.
