Atmospheric Methane (global) vs US Renewable Energy Share
Atmospheric Methane (global) and US Renewable Energy Share correlate at r = +0.91 over 42 years (1984–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.39. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.91 to 0.39 once the trend is removed.
