The entire article places Celcius first and Fahrenheit in brackets after it, but the title only gives Fahrenheit without saying that it is? It's quite obviously deliberate clickbait.
Apart from that; it's quite hard to find on this website that it is “U.S.A centric”, which certainly does not appear from the title or the u.r.i., and going to “About Axios” we find:
> We launched Axios in January 2017 based on this shared belief: The world needed smarter, more efficient coverage of the topics shaping the fast-changing world. We pledged to put our audience first, always.
Clearly they profile themselves as news for the world, not for the U.S.A., and so they use their units, but only inside of the article text.
