Tokyo Average Temperature vs US Gross Savings

Tokyo Average Temperature and US Gross Savings correlate at r = -0.50 over 55 years (1970–2024), p = 1.0e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.08. Likely spurious (shared time trend).

Verdict: Likely spurious (shared time trend). Both series mostly just trend over time. After removing that trend the correlation collapses to 0.08 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
