New York Average Temperature vs US R&D Expenditure
New York Average Temperature and US R&D Expenditure correlate at r = +0.53 over 28 years (1996–2023), p = 0.0037. With the time trend removed, r = +0.19. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0037) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.19). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
