Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat (www.asahi.com)

Nissan Motor Co. said it has developed a new type of paint that significantly reduces the temperature inside vehicles parked in direct sunlight.

The surface of a car coated with the innovative material remains up to 12 degrees cooler than that of a vehicle with standard paint, tests showed.

The company said the coating material can help rein in the temperature rise not only on the car's body but also in the vehicle when exposed to direct sunlight.

a lot of English language media are either located in the US or target the US market

or target the US market

So regardless of the website's name or origin, it could be an English language outlet targeted at the US audience. Which is quite common. Which is why I explicitly added this remark to the comment you initially replied.

So why are we back here? What exactly are you trying to prove? All I said that I'd expect a value to be expressed in Fahrenheit unless stated otherwise. I didn't say that you should do that, or that's somewhat objective. I was simply arguing that despite only ~4% of population using Fahrenheit, it has much more influence due to the listed factors.
