AI explanation
As the air in Albuquerque cleared up, it actually developed a peculiar magnetic property that started to attract the gasoline molecules in Guam. This unprecedented phenomenon led to a subtle but steady decrease in the amount of gasoline being pumped, as the gasoline couldn't help but be drawn towards the cleaner air in Albuquerque. It's a classic case of environmental magnetism leading to an unintentional fuel fiasco!

The Gas and the Furious: Uncovering the Link Between Air Pollution in Albuquerque and Gasoline Pumped in Guam
[[ABSTRACT]]
In recent years, the pressing issue of air pollution has garnered increasing attention from researchers and policymakers alike. Simultaneously, the global gasoline trade has seen fluctuations that have left many scratching their heads. But what if these two seemingly separate phenomena were more closely connected than previously thought?
This study delves into the often-overlooked relationship between air pollution levels in Albuquerque and the quantity of gasoline pumped in Guam. By analyzing comprehensive data from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Energy Information Administration spanning over four decades, we sought to uncover any potential correlation between these seemingly unrelated variables.
Our findings revealed a surprising correlation coefficient of 0.8967719, with a remarkable level of statistical significance (p < 0.01) for the years 1980 to 2021. This robust correlation suggests that there may be a previously undetected linkage between air quality in Albuquerque and the volume of gasoline imported into Guam. It's almost as if these two entities are in a long-distance relationship – separated by miles of ocean and a dollop of statistical significance.
Furthermore, our study opens the door to probing the mechanisms underlying this association. Is there a causal relationship at play, or is this merely a coincidental correlation? As researchers, we must avoid jumping to hasty conclusions and instead delve deeper into the intricate dance of atmospheric dynamics and international fuel trade. It's almost as if the air in Albuquerque is sending a smoky signal across the Pacific, saying, "Guam, we need to talk."
This research not only sheds light on an unexpected link between air pollution and gasoline trade but also underscores the interconnectedness of global environmental and economic processes. Despite the geographical distance between these two locations, our findings suggest that they may be more intertwined than previously imagined. In the words of a wise dad, "Sometimes the world just decides to connect the dots in the most unexpected places."

The Gas and the Furious: Uncovering the Link Between Air Pollution in Albuquerque and Gasoline Pumped in Guam
[[ABSTRACT]]
In recent years, the pressing issue of air pollution has garnered increasing attention from researchers and policymakers alike. Simultaneously, the global gasoline trade has seen fluctuations that have left many scratching their heads. But what if these two seemingly separate phenomena were more closely connected than previously thought?
This study delves into the often-overlooked relationship between air pollution levels in Albuquerque and the quantity of gasoline pumped in Guam. By analyzing comprehensive data from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Energy Information Administration spanning over four decades, we sought to uncover any potential correlation between these seemingly unrelated variables.
Our findings revealed a surprising correlation coefficient of 0.8967719, with a remarkable level of statistical significance (p < 0.01) for the years 1980 to 2021. This robust correlation suggests that there may be a previously undetected linkage between air quality in Albuquerque and the volume of gasoline imported into Guam. It's almost as if these two entities are in a long-distance relationship – separated by miles of ocean and a dollop of statistical significance.
Furthermore, our study opens the door to probing the mechanisms underlying this association. Is there a causal relationship at play, or is this merely a coincidental correlation? As researchers, we must avoid jumping to hasty conclusions and instead delve deeper into the intricate dance of atmospheric dynamics and international fuel trade. It's almost as if the air in Albuquerque is sending a smoky signal across the Pacific, saying, "Guam, we need to talk."
This research not only sheds light on an unexpected link between air pollution and gasoline trade but also underscores the interconnectedness of global environmental and economic processes. Despite the geographical distance between these two locations, our findings suggest that they may be more intertwined than previously imagined. In the words of a wise dad, "Sometimes the world just decides to connect the dots in the most unexpected places."
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
Previous research has delved into the intricate web of air pollution and its deleterious effects on public health and the environment. Smith, in "Air Quality and Its Implications for Urban Communities," examines the impact of air pollution on respiratory diseases and its economic consequences, painting a grim picture of the pervasive nature of this environmental hazard. Similarly, Doe and Jones, in "The Global Gasoline Trade: A Historical Perspective," explore the complex dynamics of international gasoline distribution and its far-reaching implications for energy security and economic stability. It's almost as if the literature on air pollution and gasoline trade is a gripping thriller, with each study uncovering a new plot twist in the saga of environmental and economic interplay.
Turning to the broader research landscape, "The Economics of Clean Air" by Johnson provides a comprehensive analysis of the costs and benefits associated with air quality improvements, shedding light on the intricate balance between environmental regulations and economic growth. Likewise, "Fueling the Future: A Global Perspective" by Brown offers a panoramic view of the intricate web of energy trade and its implications for global geopolitics and environmental sustainability. It's almost as if these books are the non-fictional equivalent of a chemistry experiment gone wrong – a potent mixture of economic analysis and environmental discourse with explosive potential for insight.
On the fictional front, we find works such as "The Polluted Paradise" by Green and "The Gasoline Gambit" by White, using air pollution and gasoline trade as thematic backdrops for gripping narratives of environmental activism and high-stakes industrial intrigue. It's almost as if these authors are fueling their creative engines with the smog of urban landscapes and the fumes of gasoline-laden harbors, crafting captivating tales that blend reality and imagination.
In the virtual realm, popular internet memes such as the "Air Pollution Pikachu" and "Gasoline Grumpy Cat" have humorously highlighted the interconnectedness of environmental concerns and energy consumption in the digital age. It's almost as if these memes are the comic relief in the otherwise serious discourse surrounding air pollution and gasoline trade, reminding us that even in the face of pressing global issues, a good laugh can be a breath of fresh air.

This robust correlation, with an r-squared of 0.8041999 and p < 0.01, hints at a surprising interplay between these seemingly distant phenomena. It's like discovering that two strangers you met at different parties are actually long-lost siblings - a real plot twist in the movie of scientific research.
Our analysis indicated a strong linear relationship between the two variables, with each increase in air pollution in Albuquerque corresponding to a proportional rise in gasoline pumped in Guam. It’s as if these two variables were engaged in an intricate dance, choreographed by unseen forces that transcend the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Perhaps the air pollution in Albuquerque is secretly moonlighting as a cupid, orchestrating a romance with gasoline consumption in Guam.

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 = 0.8041999 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 80.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Gasoline pumped in Guam) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air pollution in Albuquerque) over the 42 years from 1980 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 9.5E-16. 0.0000000000000009534332493142
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 0.9 in 9.5E-14% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,048,841,123,087,846 random variables You don't actually need 1 quadrillion variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. 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.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
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 41 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 41 because we have two variables measured over a period of 42 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.
[ 0.81, 0.94 ] 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
- 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.
- 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. - 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.

You may re-use the images on this page for any purpose, even commercial purposes, without asking for permission. The only requirement is that you attribute Tyler Vigen. Attribution can take many different forms. If you leave the "tylervigen.com" link in the image, that satisfies it just fine. If you remove it and move it to a footnote, that's fine too. You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.
For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."
When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.

- High resolution line chart
The image linked here is a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG). It is the highest resolution that is possible to achieve. It scales up beyond the size of the observable universe without pixelating. You do not need to email me asking if I have a higher resolution image. I do not. The physical limitations of our universe prevent me from providing you with an image that is any higher resolution than this one.
If you insert it into a PowerPoint presentation (a tool well-known for managing things that are the scale of the universe), you can right-click > "Ungroup" or "Create Shape" and then edit the lines and text directly. You can also change the colors this way.
Alternatively you can use a tool like Inkscape. - High resolution line chart, optimized for mobile
