London Average Temperature vs US Youth Unemployment

London Average Temperature and US Youth Unemployment correlate at r = -0.55 over 35 years (1991–2025), p = 7.1e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.50. Holds up after detrending.

Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 7.1e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.50). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
