US Annual CO₂ Emissions vs US Secondary School Enrollment
US Annual CO₂ Emissions and US Secondary School Enrollment correlate at r = +0.34 over 35 years (1971–2022), p = 0.047. With the time trend removed, r = -0.22. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.047) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.22). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
