Why would you expect a massive spike of cancer deaths in 2020? You think the study claims people will die instantly the moment they start sitting down more?

Do you similarly rebut the link between cigarettes and death by saying "that's why so many 14-year-olds suddenly keel over... wait, what?"

Car manufacturers should be taken to the woodshed over this awful decision.

Why not the car buyers? The manufacturers are only responding to what buyers want.

That could well be a chicken-and-egg problem. Are the buyers buying what's available because it's available, or are the manufacturers making it because the buyers actually asked for it? I'm not aware of any Equinox driver anywhere who ever complained about it not being tall enough (or it being short enough to make it unnecessarily difficult to run over small people) yet Chevy raised the hood anyways.

The other problem is that the auto manufacturers see a distorted picture of car buyers. New cars are too expensive for a large fraction of all drivers; many drivers won't ever buy a brand new car. New car dealers are selling to people with more money, and making decisions around what those more affluent people might want in their cars - or more so are telling such people what they should want.
