US CO₂ Emissions per Capita vs US Annual Working Hours per Worker
US CO₂ Emissions per Capita and US Annual Working Hours per Worker correlate at r = -0.73 over 81 years (1870–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.53. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.53). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
