If this was truly the case we'd probably see massive differences between countries depending on latitude, no? And yet life expectancy is strongly correlated with gdp per capita.

One variable doesn't necessarily overwhelm others. That's why multivariate analysis is needed; but humans introduce SO MANY variables that it's difficult to even enter them all.
