Atmospheric CO₂ (Mauna Loa) vs US Female Labor Force Participation
Atmospheric CO₂ (Mauna Loa) and US Female Labor Force Participation correlate at r = -0.48 over 36 years (1990–2025), p = 0.0031. With the time trend removed, r = -0.63. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0031) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.63). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
