US CO₂ Emissions per Capita vs US Inflation Rate
US CO₂ Emissions per Capita and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = +0.40 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 0.0010. With the time trend removed, r = +0.33. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0010) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.33). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
