Atmospheric Methane (global) vs US Death Rate
Atmospheric Methane (global) and US Death Rate correlate at r = +0.33 over 41 years (1984–2024), p = 0.033. With the time trend removed, r = +0.60. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.033) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.60). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
