London Average Temperature vs US Marriage Rate
London Average Temperature and US Marriage Rate correlate at r = -0.63 over 62 years (1960–2022), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.14. Likely spurious (shared time trend).
Verdict: Likely spurious (shared time trend). Both series mostly just trend over time. After removing that trend the correlation collapses to -0.14 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
