My math is wrong, and has been questioned. See first comment.
Posted the other day:
They say global warming could increase global temperatures by as much as three degrees. Okay. I'm kind of hoping for an increase of seven to ten degrees. Just saying.
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.
Bruce, really enjoy all the Bakken stuff!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about your math though... I get an increase of 0.55%
