Sydney Average Temperature vs US Death Rate
Sydney Average Temperature and US Death Rate correlate at r = -0.41 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 7.2e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.24. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 7.2e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.24). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
