Tokyo Average Temperature vs US Nuclear Power Generation
Tokyo Average Temperature and US Nuclear Power Generation correlate at r = +0.62 over 61 years (1965–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.36. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.62, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.36. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
