Ah-ha!
I knew I'd find something in this proving this article is wrong.
The team found several stars with surface temperatures over 40,000 degrees - more than seven times hotter than our Sun.
GOTCHA!
Al Gore says the temp of our Sun is, ....9,000,000o (Nine Million Degrees)! And Al knows all about that science thingy stuff.

He learned about it while getting a massage.
