Sydney Average Temperature vs US CO₂ Emissions per Capita
Sydney Average Temperature and US CO₂ Emissions per Capita correlate at r = -0.45 over 55 years (1970–2024), p = 5.9e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.13. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 5.9e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.13). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
