US CO₂ Emissions per Capita vs US Milk Consumption per Person
US CO₂ Emissions per Capita and US Milk Consumption per Person correlate at r = +0.45 over 63 years (1961–2023), p = 2.4e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.32. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 2.4e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.32). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
