Correlation
is not causation
A rather alarming pair of graphs. Increased rule of law seems to make countries richer, and richer countries have higher emissions per capita.pic.twitter.com/sQx9LzhCbM

correlation may not imply causation, but it is correlated with it

It’s the second graph that will look different in the future.

You got the causation backwards.

That's interesting. If this is true there should be a lag of emission increase unless we assume that Rule of Law is recognized with a lag in the index. So basically, consumption increases.

seems like this is a pretty clear case of correlation != causation though

When you think of it in terms of complexity science, richer means less local entropy (more complex society) and the natural outcome is pollution (higher entropy needs to flow somewhere). It’s a massive problem we obv need to tackle.

The idea of complexity being transformed into emissions doesn't seem clear to me. Could you please elaborate?
