US Meat Consumption per Person vs US Oil Consumption
US Meat Consumption per Person and US Oil Consumption correlate at r = +0.79 over 59 years (1965–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.61. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.61). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
