US CO₂ Emissions per Capita vs Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+)
US CO₂ Emissions per Capita and Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+) correlate at r = +0.02 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 0.883. With the time trend removed, r = +0.18. Not statistically significant.
Verdict: Not statistically significant. With n = 65, this correlation isn't statistically significant (p = 0.883). It could easily be chance.
