As  far  as  the  change  in  atmospheric  temperatures  after  9/11, I  think  it  had  absolutely  nothing  to  do  with  fewer  airplanes  flying. I think  it  was  purely  coincidental  or  caused  by  other  factors. In  science, correlation  does  not  necessarily  translate  into  cause  and  effect. Did  a  volcano  erupt  somewhere  in  the  world  when  Elvis  Prestley  first  sang  the  famous  hit "Hound  Dog"? Does  this  mean  that  this  song  causes  volcanoes  to  erupt  every  time  it's  played? Not  hardly.

Your point about correlation may be correct but your example shows no understanding of statistics. You almost sound like Rush Limbaugh.
