US CO₂ Emissions per Capita vs Worldwide Major Earthquakes (M5+)
US CO₂ Emissions per Capita and Worldwide Major Earthquakes (M5+) correlate at r = +0.04 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 0.745. With the time trend removed, r = +0.45. Not statistically significant.
Verdict: Not statistically significant. With n = 65, this correlation isn't statistically significant (p = 0.745). It could easily be chance.
