US Annual CO₂ Emissions vs US Death Rate
US Annual CO₂ Emissions and US Death Rate correlate at r = -0.67 over 65 years (1960–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.62. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.62). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
