Atmospheric Methane (global) vs US Youth Unemployment
Atmospheric Methane (global) and US Youth Unemployment correlate at r = -0.41 over 35 years (1991–2025), p = 0.015. With the time trend removed, r = -0.54. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.015) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.54). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
