So is causation impossible to prove? It seems like every single study ( at least those reported in the media) suffers from the correlation != causation problem

  We can never be sure of anything (because everything could just be a simulation in a computer etc.). We can only be certain to a degree. I suppose just finding some causation is not sufficient to make a new scientific discovery. It can give pointers for directions of research, but then somehow you need to make the new hypothesis testable.
