US Coal Consumption vs US Infant Mortality
US Coal Consumption and US Infant Mortality correlate at r = -0.44 over 60 years (1965–2024), p = 3.8e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.73. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 3.8e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.73). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
