What do you think that this article is saying regarding calories burned by sweating? I assume you're focusing on this paragraph...

It is important to understand your body's individual physiological response to a hot and/or humid environment and how much energy it must expend to cool itself. You may be surprised that most of the chemical energy used for muscular contraction is lost as heat—up to 90 percent at high intensities!
