Because, celsius doesn't have an absolute 0.
Convert 10 degrees celsius in Kelvin which has an absolute 0 you get 283.5 Kelvin but 20 degrees is 293 Kelvin.
283.5 Kelvin /= 2(293) Kelvin.
Hence it cannot be said 20 degrees is twice as hot as 10 degrees in pure mathematical terms.
Temprature scales are tricky that way!
