US Dollar to British Pound vs Atmospheric CO₂ (Mauna Loa)
US Dollar to British Pound and Atmospheric CO₂ (Mauna Loa) correlate at r = +0.75 over 27 years (1999–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.45. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.45). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
