  > I am a geologist passionate about sharing Earth's intricacies with you. I received my PhD from Duke University where I studied the geology and climate of the Amazon I find it hard to believe someone with those credentials would be unfamiliar with mathematical concepts. It's a shame because the article doesn't need to "hype" up the temperature. It would have gotten my interest regardless

    Headlines are usually written by someone else, and the person who writes the article has very little influence over them.

    Author of the article almost certainly did not write the headline. A sub-editor probably did that. It's entirely reasonable to judge a publication on the basis of a headline not matching the article. It is not at all reasonable to judge the article's author concerning a headline they did not write, had no say in and probably did not even seen prior to publication.
