US CO₂ Emissions per Capita vs US Death Rate
US CO₂ Emissions per Capita and US Death Rate correlate at r = -0.33 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 0.0069. With the time trend removed, r = -0.55. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0069) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.55). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
