US Homicide Rate vs US Renewable Energy Share
US Homicide Rate and US Renewable Energy Share correlate at r = -0.44 over 31 years (1990–2023), p = 0.013. With the time trend removed, r = +0.77. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is -0.44, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes 0.77. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
