Global Temperature Anomaly vs Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+)
Global Temperature Anomaly and Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+) correlate at r = +0.24 over 66 years (1960–2025), p = 0.055. With the time trend removed, r = -0.40. Not statistically significant.
Verdict: Not statistically significant. With n = 66, this correlation isn't statistically significant (p = 0.055). It could easily be chance.
