Atmospheric Methane (global) vs US Annual CO₂ Emissions
Atmospheric Methane (global) and US Annual CO₂ Emissions correlate at r = +0.12 over 41 years (1984–2024), p = 0.437. With the time trend removed, r = -0.15. Not statistically significant.
Verdict: Not statistically significant. With n = 41, this correlation isn't statistically significant (p = 0.437). It could easily be chance.
