Just because it is morning and sun is rising, does not mean that one is causing the other, no matter how strong the association.

But, it does mean that there is a statistically high correlation between it being morning and the sun rising. Just like in the OA going back however far OA said the economy and belief in climate change had inverse relationship.

No one but you claimed one caused the other. correlation != cause & effect.
