This is weird mental gymnastics if you ask me. But okay. It's your site, I'm not here to argue.

  I know that some aspects are counterintuitive but I don't think it's hard to understand that, without intervention, HN would trend to sensationalism, indignation, hotness, and other qualities which are not aligned with the intended spirit of the site.

    But the article is about how they're affected by climate change. Removing that part from the title completely changes the meaning of the article. You're essentially saying "I'm removing this because I don't personally like it" when it has no other reason to be removed...

      Perhaps I didn't read the article closely enough.

        The subtitle states the intention of the article pretty clearly and is located directly below the main title: > Climate change is bringing tourism and tension to Longyearbyen on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard The article's first paragraph is how homeowners are noticing cracks in the foundation due to the terrain under their houses receding due to climate change warming the otherwise permafrosted ground. The article's third paragraph pretty concretely discusses exactly what is happening to the temperatures there. The entire article is about climate change. You've removed a very important part of the original title for (in my opinion) some philosophical nonsensical reason, ultimately changing the meaning the author intended.
