36) Below is the Earth atmosphere data for CO2 in ppm from the past 60 years or so. If the minimum observed is 312 ppm (1959) and the maximum is 419 ppm (April 2021) then the total spread is 107 ppm. What is the 107 ppm change expressed as a percentage of the 312 ppm lowest value (base value) measured?
