Really? The presence of a correlation does not preclude causation, either. That you cannot discern the linkage between pirate population and global warming doesn't mean that it does not exist. Of course, you are also reifying "pirate" and "global warming" -- a pair of assumptions that themselves require proof.
This logic stuff can give you a headache if you pursue it too far. Let's build robots!
