New York Average Temperature vs US Energy Use per Capita
New York Average Temperature and US Energy Use per Capita correlate at r = -0.32 over 61 years (1965–2025), p = 0.012. With the time trend removed, r = -0.12. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.012) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.12). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
