I like this graph demonstrating that the worldwide decline in pirates has caused global warming, seen here towards the bottom of the page:

Brad- just make sure you note the way it looks like a pos correlation when it is really a neg one. I'm using it not only to explain how correlation doesn't mean causation, but also to explain how graphs can be misleading
