These are all examples where commenters have confidently said that this specific thing is the cause (independent of any data). It is a little odd on a story about how the actual experts are working hard to understand the (likely multifaceted) causes of this trend that there are oodles of people just declaring "oh it is obviously this."
The number of different reasons that people come up with (and with conviction in many cases) is insane IMO, not any single reply or commenter (I hope).
