Using percentages in °C or °F is nonsensical, because the zero-point is arbitrary in both scales. We have to use an absolute scale like Kelvin. E.g.: What is the energy increase from 1°C to 2°C? The numeral suggests the answer is 200% (double), but it's actually less than 0.4%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin
