According to the data, ice cream consumption is linked to shark attacks.
How the why?
Well, maybe eating ice cream makes you taste better?
So, you consume the ice cream, and the shark consumes you.

But the more accepted sharksplanation is that it’s seasonal. It just so happens that, when it’s warmer, more people are eating ice cream, and also more people are swimming in the ocean.
That is to say that there’s no causal relationship, in either direction — neither of these things causes the other, even indirectly. Instead, they’re both caused by a third factor. So the good news is that we’ve found a link, a connection, a correlation between these two factors in the data — and that’s valuable. The two are indeed predictive of one another. If we see ice cream sales increase, we can rightly ascertain a higher probability of shark attacks, and vice versa. But the bad news is that, when we discover such a correlation, oftentimes their common cause, some third factor, is just not in our data set at all. That data wasn’t included, ’cause it was overlooked or perhaps it would be difficult or costly to collect. So we’re stuck with a predictive correlation, but no definitive causal explanation as to why it is so.
