Sunspot Number vs US Inflation Rate
Sunspot Number and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = +0.41 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 7.6e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.38. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 7.6e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.38). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
