Tokyo Average Temperature vs US GDP per Capita

Tokyo Average Temperature and US GDP per Capita correlate at r = +0.81 over 66 years (1960–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.66. Holds up after detrending.

Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.66). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
