Atmospheric Methane (global) vs US Egg Consumption per Person
Atmospheric Methane (global) and US Egg Consumption per Person correlate at r = +0.66 over 40 years (1984–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.05. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.66 to -0.05 once the trend is removed.
