London Average Temperature vs US Oil Consumption
London Average Temperature and US Oil Consumption correlate at r = +0.47 over 61 years (1965–2025), p = 1.5e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.02. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.47 to -0.02 once the trend is removed.
