US Energy Use per Capita vs US Cereal Yield
US Energy Use per Capita and US Cereal Yield correlate at r = -0.39 over 60 years (1965–2024), p = 0.0019. With the time trend removed, r = -0.33. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0019) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.33). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
