Correlation doesn't imply causation but it could co-occur with it

Too long

Correlative causation is more correlated with causation than non-correlative causation

Too tongue twisting

Correlation is closer to causation than no correlation

I like that

Ignoring possible causation is correlated with stupidity

Too cruel

Correlation does not equal causation but they are correlated

Not bad

Anyone else?

Correlation correlates with causation.

I always liked xkcd's "Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'." (https://xkcd.com/552/) although it is rather long.
