Sydney Average Temperature vs US Homicide Rate
Sydney Average Temperature and US Homicide Rate correlate at r = -0.59 over 31 years (1990–2023), p = 4.2e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.43. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 4.2e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.43). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
