Thanks for the latest example of correlation being described as causal in the media. I especially enjoy those (such as this one) that list three or four possible confounds and, after statistically controlling for them, conclude that, therefore, the remaining variance is entirely accounted for by their proposed causal relationship. Good stuff.
