Calories burned during hot yoga?

Every one keeps saying that hot yoga doesn't burn any more calories than regular yoga because the heat raises your heart rate but your muscles don't do any extra work. But then other people say it burns more which makes more sense to me. How do I know which side to believe
Believe group 1. Ignore group 2.0 -
i thought message board here is for asking questions. If you feel like such a burden why bother answering this question?0

Heart rate monitors are neither designed nor programmed for calculating accurate caloric estimates for yoga. It is the wrong tool for the job.
Heat does not create a significant additional caloric burn. As mentioned earlier, if it did then people in hot areas would all enjoy tremendous deficits just from the heat.0 -
Wrong answer! In a hot environment heart rate goes up to pump more blood through outer body parts and skin. When the heart beat goes up it burns more calories. (In exercise) People in very hot countries like middle east dont go out and work out to shed pounds. Its always one air conditioned place to another. Construction workers are doing their work during night time mostly.
They are people who actually die from heart attacks due to extreme heat conditions in Middle east. So be educated before writing an answer to someone seeking advice.0 -

Nothing more embarrassing than copping an attitude and being 100% wrong in public.0
