Global Temperature Anomaly vs US GDP per Capita
Global Temperature Anomaly and US GDP per Capita correlate at r = +0.97 over 66 years (1960–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.56. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.97 to 0.56 once the trend is removed.
