US Annual CO₂ Emissions vs US Marriage Rate
US Annual CO₂ Emissions and US Marriage Rate correlate at r = -0.44 over 128 years (1886–2022), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.14. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.14). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
