Arctic Sea Ice Extent (September) vs US Alcohol Consumption
Arctic Sea Ice Extent (September) and US Alcohol Consumption correlate at r = -0.81 over 21 years (2000–2020), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.41. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.41). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
