Global Temperature Anomaly vs US Median Age
Global Temperature Anomaly and US Median Age correlate at r = +0.94 over 74 years (1950–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.52. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.94 to 0.52 once the trend is removed.
