I think the whole thread is to show the Celsius scale in particular but temperature degrees have different impacts in different places in general, but especially in the range supporting human life. One degree can mean nothing or be the difference between being alive or dead, depending on where that degree is on the scale and maybe other compounding factors like humidity.

Talking about relative temperature differences without anchoring to an absolute reference is meaningless. Using percentages is even worse.
