US Oil Consumption vs US Adolescent Birth Rate
US Oil Consumption and US Adolescent Birth Rate correlate at r = -0.53 over 60 years (1965–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.20. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.20). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
