Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+) vs US CO₂ Emissions per Capita
Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+) and US CO₂ Emissions per Capita correlate at r = -0.20 over 55 years (1970–2024), p = 0.151. With the time trend removed, r = +0.26. Not statistically significant.
Verdict: Not statistically significant. With n = 55, this correlation isn't statistically significant (p = 0.151). It could easily be chance.
