US Coal Consumption vs US Urban Population
US Coal Consumption and US Urban Population correlate at r = +0.30 over 61 years (1965–2025), p = 0.021. With the time trend removed, r = +0.61. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.021) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.61). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
