As ice cream sales increase, the rate of drowning deaths - TopicsExpress



          

As ice cream sales increase, the rate of drowning deaths increases. Therefore, ice cream causes drowning. Obviously, the above example is ludicrous. It completely fails to account for the time/season and the temperature. In this case, the sale of ice cream and the rate of drowning is caused by a common cause – the summer months. When it’s hot outside, you’re more likely to eat ice cream and you’re more likely to swim. As the exposure to water-based activities increases, the number of people who don’t know how to swim or who simply get in trouble while swimming also increases which results in a higher drowning rate.
