Down voted. Please repost with a link to the source. We're better than this.

A heat index is not an actual temperature reading. This is disingenuous and people whom don't want to believe in things like climate change will latch on to and discredit people for things like this.
People who.
But the point is we'll taken. It seems like a really misleading headline. That doesn't help things at all.
If you're gonna correct someone else's grammar, you better make sure your own grammar is squeaky clean first, lol.
And I can't fix it for some reason
Thanks, but the point is it needs to be the main link in the posting
Would like to see the option to add "Misleading Title" to articles, similar to what used to exist on "R". Not enough people downvote misleading stuff.
More like "image posted without a link to the source to verify it"
To me it was disingenuous to claim it was 70°C when it only "felt like" 70°C.
