US CO₂ Emissions per Capita vs US Inflation Rate
US CO₂ Emissions per Capita and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = +0.43 over 55 years (1970–2024), p = 9.7e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.18. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 9.7e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.18). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
