Global Temperature Anomaly vs US Population Aged 65+
Global Temperature Anomaly and US Population Aged 65+ correlate at r = +0.93 over 66 years (1960–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.43. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.93 to 0.43 once the trend is removed.
