After reading the article I tried to double check the source but couldn&amp;#x27;t easily find it.&lt;p&gt;Yesterday HN&amp;#x27;s top 30 had a similar story from some blog I had never heard of. Their source was the BBC and a paper that didn&amp;#x27;t show 13.8C. Now we have a typo(?) spreading like a virus.&lt;p&gt;The chart in this Wired article shows a ~1.38C difference which is alarmingly high. What troubles me is how many people, even HN&amp;#x27;ers, just ran with a 13.8C number without question. Am I missing something ? Is there any scientific paper showing 13.8C, which would likely kill a significant portion of marine life ? I&amp;#x27;ll do a time-boxed (2 years) boycott of the BBC until proven otherwise.</text></comment>
