New York Average Temperature vs US Solar Energy Consumption
New York Average Temperature and US Solar Energy Consumption correlate at r = +0.52 over 43 years (1983–2025), p = 3.8e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.23. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 3.8e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.23). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
