Global Temperature Anomaly vs US Renewable Energy Share
Global Temperature Anomaly and US Renewable Energy Share correlate at r = +0.90 over 61 years (1965–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.42. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.90 to 0.42 once the trend is removed.
