FWIW -- Atmospheric CO2 -- November, 2019, Data

Link here.
 

November, 2018, data here. It was 408.02.

410.27 / 1,000,000
- 408.02 / 1,000,000
= 2.25 / 1,000,000
= 0.00000225
= 0.000225%

My math is wrong, and has been questioned. See first comment.

    Not sure about your math though... I get an increase of 0.55%

    1. You are correct using the difference between 410 and 408 which is the correct way to do it. I prefer to take the difference (2 parts per million) and calculate the percent difference based on parts of per million. You would get the A+ in statistics if this were a college exam. I would have failed but 2 parts change per million helps me put things in perspective, even though it's wrong. That's why I showed my work.
