Global Temperature Anomaly vs US Natural Gas Consumption
Global Temperature Anomaly and US Natural Gas Consumption correlate at r = +0.87 over 61 years (1965–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.37. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.87 to 0.37 once the trend is removed.
