Global Temperature Anomaly vs US Youth Unemployment
Global Temperature Anomaly and US Youth Unemployment correlate at r = -0.38 over 35 years (1991–2025), p = 0.026. With the time trend removed, r = -0.37. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.026) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.37). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
