New York Average Temperature vs US Oil Consumption
New York Average Temperature and US Oil Consumption correlate at r = +0.39 over 61 years (1965–2025), p = 0.0018. With the time trend removed, r = -0.08. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0018) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.08). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
