Yes, my first instinct from this title was "oh no, is my gas bill going up by 10x?"

It is not, at all

Yes it is in the UK. Energy bills going up by 10%, most of it going into shareholders pocket, which make me angry.

Indeed. They actually do post a higher-resolution plot of prices over the last few years. The headline is focusing on a single very brief spike in prices that almost immediately reverted to the mean. A more accurate title would have been "Natural gas prices in Europe an Asia return to 2018 levels".

I think at this point I've conditioned myself to mentally refute news headlines exactly because of slyness like this.

It's only deceptive if you think 'era' refers to anything but the last year.
