US Adolescent Birth Rate vs US CO₂ Emissions per Capita
US Adolescent Birth Rate and US CO₂ Emissions per Capita correlate at r = +0.92 over 55 years (1970–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.57. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.57). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
