[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al.," the authors find a positive correlation between the number of university cultural studies teachers and public interest in climate change. Similarly, "Doe and Jones" present compelling evidence of the influence of educators on societal issues, shedding light on the intricate relationship between academia and online search behavior. However, as we further explore the "Climate Class" correlation, we are inevitably drawn to sources that transcend the conventional boundaries of scholarly discourse.

In "The Sixth Extinction" by Elizabeth Kolbert, the author examines the impact of human activities on the environment, providing a backdrop for understanding the urgency of climate change discourse. While Kolbert's work may not directly address the influence of university cultural studies teachers in Georgia, it certainly underscores the broader societal importance of addressing environmental issues—a fact that cannot be brushed aside like a leaf in a hurricane.

Turning to the realm of fiction, "The Water Knife" by Paolo Bacigalupi offers a dystopian vision of a world grappling with water scarcity and environmental degradation. While the book is a work of fiction, its portrayal of a climatically altered future beckons us to consider the implications of educators' role in shaping public awareness of environmental challenges. In our investigation, we cannot ignore the potential impact of cultural studies teachers on shaping attitudes toward climate change and the potential alignment of Google searches with the themes encapsulated in this gripping tale.

In addition to these scholarly and fictional works, social media discourse has offered intriguing insights into the public's engagement with climate change. A tweet by @ClimateEnthusiast proclaiming, "Is it just me, or does every university in Georgia have an army of cultural studies teachers who make us Google 'climate change' more?" stands out as a testament to the chatter surrounding our research question. While not a peer-reviewed study, this informal observation hints at the public's perception of the relationship between academia and popular interest in climate change—a perception that tickles the academic curiosity like a feather on the nose.

The "Climate Class" correlation, as we navigate through this literature review, emerges as a phenomenon that intertwines serious scholarly inquiry with a touch of whimsy and unexpected twists. As we brace ourselves for the statistical analyses ahead, we are reminded that even in the pursuit of scientific inquiry, a sprinkling of humor and goofiness can make the journey all the more enjoyable.

The "Climate Class" correlation, as we navigate through this literature review, emerges as a phenomenon that intertwines serious scholarly inquiry with a touch of whimsy and unexpected twists. As we brace ourselves for the statistical analyses ahead, we are reminded that even in the pursuit of scientific inquiry, a sprinkling of humor and goofiness can make the journey all the more enjoyable.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data revealed a remarkably strong correlation between the number of university cultural studies teachers in Georgia and Google searches for 'climate change'. The correlation coefficient was calculated to be 0.8871902, indicating a robust positive relationship between these two variables over the period of 2008 to 2021. This result is as surprising as finding a polar bear in a sauna, given the unexpected connection between the academic landscape and public interest in climate change.
Further supporting the strength of this relationship, the r-squared value of 0.7871064 suggests that approximately 79% of the variation in Google searches for 'climate change' can be explained by the number of university cultural studies teachers in Georgia. This finding is as convincing as a stand-up comic delivering a well-timed punchline, leaving little doubt about the influence of academia on public curiosity about environmental issues.
The statistical significance of our results is as clear as day, with a p-value of less than 0.01. This indicates that the observed correlation is highly unlikely to be a result of random chance, confirming the substantive impact of university cultural studies teachers on Google searches for 'climate change'. The implications of this significant result are as far-reaching as a message in a bottle, suggesting that educators play a pivotal role in shaping public interest in climate change.
Additionally, the scatterplot (Fig. 1) visually represents the strong positive correlation between the number of university cultural studies teachers in Georgia and Google searches for 'climate change'. This graphical depiction serves as a testament to the robustness of our findings and underscores the unexpected yet meaningful relationship we have uncovered.
In conclusion, our findings provide compelling evidence of the "Climate Class" correlation, shedding light on the influential role of university cultural studies teachers in shaping public curiosity about climate change. These results are not only statistically significant but also hold important implications for the intersection of academia and public awareness of environmental issues. This research serves as a reminder that even the most unexpected correlations can yield valuable insights, much like stumbling across a whimsical surprise in the midst of scholarly inquiry.

Correlation r = 0.8871902 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.7871064 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 78.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'climate change') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of university cultural studies teachers in Georgia) over the 14 years from 2008 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.3E-5. 0.0000232382069596530250000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.89 in 0.0023% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 43,033 random variables You don't actually need 43 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 13 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 13 because we have two variables measured over a period of 14 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.67, 0.96 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
