New York Average Temperature vs US Milk Consumption per Person
New York Average Temperature and US Milk Consumption per Person correlate at r = -0.44 over 63 years (1961–2023), p = 2.7e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.15. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 2.7e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.15). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
