Worldwide Major Earthquakes (M5+) vs US Cereal Yield
Worldwide Major Earthquakes (M5+) and US Cereal Yield correlate at r = +0.62 over 64 years (1961–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.25. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.25). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
