Atmospheric CO₂ (Mauna Loa) vs US Inflation Rate
Atmospheric CO₂ (Mauna Loa) and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = -0.29 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 0.018. With the time trend removed, r = -0.19. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.018) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.19). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
