US Energy Use per Capita vs US Death Rate
US Energy Use per Capita and US Death Rate correlate at r = -0.37 over 60 years (1965–2024), p = 0.0036. With the time trend removed, r = -0.51. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0036) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.51). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
