US Annual CO₂ Emissions vs Sunspot Number
US Annual CO₂ Emissions and Sunspot Number correlate at r = +0.11 over 225 years (1800–2024), p = 0.103. With the time trend removed, r = -0.05. Not statistically significant.
Verdict: Not statistically significant. With n = 225, this correlation isn't statistically significant (p = 0.103). It could easily be chance.
