To "singe" is to scorch superficially.
In French, "singe" means "monkey."
But let's read on. This sounds quite serious:
High temperatures are strongly associated with an increase in suicides, researchers have found. Heat has been linked to a rise in violent crime and aggression, emergency room visits and hospitalizations for mental disorders, and deaths — especially among people with schizophrenia, dementia, psychosis and substance use.
For every 1 degree Celsius (or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) increase in temperature, scientists have estimated that there is a nearly 5 percent increase in the risk of death among patients with psychosis, dementia or substance use.
Researchers have reported a 0.7 percent increase in suicides linked to rising temperatures, and about a 4 percent to 6 percent increase in interpersonal violence, including homicides....

This just in, summer is hot. I'm guessing if someone did the research, they would find EVERY summer has higher rate of violence.
The fearmongering continues space.
Brian Fantana: "No, she gets a special cologne. It’s called Sex Panther by Odeon. It’s illegal in nine countries. Yep, it’s made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good."
Ron Burgundy: It’s quite pungent. It’s a formidable scent. It singes the nostrils, in a good way.
Brian Fantana: Yep.
Ron Burgundy: Brian, I’m gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
Brian Fantana: They’ve done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
Ron Burgundy: That doesn’t make sense.
Brian Fantana: Well, let’s go see is we can make this little kitty purr."
Best use of the word 'singe in human history.
and here I got a heatwave…
burnin’ in my heart.
WOW! they're RIGHT! just LOOK at this graph!
https://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/fatal/trends.html
Suicides were Only at the rate of about 4,200 a month.. Back in January...
Suicides have SOARED to a rate of about 4,400 a month.. Back in July...... Oh WAIT! i mean MAY!
(then they trend down)
For the Articles OWN numbers..
High temperatures are strongly associated with an increase in suicides..
Researchers have reported a 0.7 percent increase in suicides linked to rising temperatures
so, REMEMBER! IF you're trying to sell newspapers (or blogs).. a 0.7% increase is STRONG!!!
So, is this a climate change thing? Climate change is going to make everybody go crazy and start killing ourselves and one another?
Sigh. Add it to the list. Never, ever will the climate change alarmists attempt a cost/benefit analysis of their proposed solutions. Something else that correlates with an uptick in interpersonal violence? Living in a primitive society, or however we are supposed to say that now. Another thing? Poverty.
But the people driving policy are insulated from the costs of the policies they drive - young St. Greta will never have to cook over a wood fire - and apparently it doesn't matter if marginal economies fall back into what used to be called Third World status. Sure, we're the racists.
And the subheader refers to 'climate change.' I see the object of the exercise already.
"Singe" makes as much sense a "global boiling." They're getting more hysterical, a sure sign they think they're losing.
Yet cold kills more people that heat every year, by a fair margin. One of the tells that they are bullshitting us is when they overly qualify the causes of death to focus in on a specific one which is more affected by heat than by cold, while simply ignoring the overall view.
We have been subjected to the most intense and immersive propaganda campaign ever undertaken, not since Nazi Germany, or perhaps the campaign to inculcate hatred for Russians documented in Ukraine On Fire in Kiev, has such a campaign been attempted.
Those in thrall to this campaign of propaganda and psy ops (wildfires caused by arson) have also been convinced, with evidence as thinly supported, and like the above, which carefully avoids inconvenient facts, have been brainwashed to believe that Donald Trump is somehow an enemy of America, all the while when we have the real "Borat," the Khazakstan kleptocrat, is buying Hunter expensive sports cars. What did Hunter get him? Why he got to launder the money he stole from his impoverished country in... get this, you are not going to believe it, -- bio-labs in Ukraine.
For such a hot summer, it has sure been cool and damp the past few weeks.
Talk to any cop about why street violence increases in summer: people are out and about instead of shut in. Period.
"I saw screws break loose, saw the devil pound tin"
So, why are suicide rates higher in Alaska (all years)and Maine (7 out of the 8 years shown on the map) than in the entire deep south? https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/suicide-rates-by-state.html
Sheesh. We must raise the math skills in education! Of course, that's data from the CDC, so who knows how valid it is?
"Do The Right Thing" takes place on the hottest day of the year for a reason.
Spoiler Alert - No one does the right thing.
I avoid hot showers, and when I have access to cold water, i take cold showers. Tony Robbins says that he immerses himself in 55 degree water first thing in the morning. The Finns are known for killing Russians. Also for swimming in ice cold water during the winter time.
So while I think we should not be taxing coal or any other energy source, I do agree that staying cool is important for mental health.
Let me end with this: whatever your thoughts on temperature and mental health, I can assure you that those thoughts will evaporate just prior to the realization you are about to step into a 55 degree shower.
When it's boiling and singeing and broiling and searing and scorching in Arizona, it is warm and balmy up here in southeastern Wisconsin. I don't think people are suiciding because it's warm rather than chilly in the good old summertime in the northern states. But the suicide numbers seem to be the same across the country. Maybe the price of food? and gas? and auto insurance? and clothes? and back to school stuff? Maybe Our Betters are painfully wondering if they are the baddies. No, the thought only singes them a little before it's dismissed and they are in again in full cry, "Round up the usual suspect, charge The Mega Monster with something."
The posted comments above demonstrate more fact than the NYT.

America sang about the Heat being Hot.

I guess we should stop telling people to use less air conditioning.
Maybe the NY Times' obsession with global warming is a sort of racial paranoia? Early in the last century, imperialists and the type of people who would read the NY Times would fret over the White man's ability to live in the tropics and retain their physical and mental energy and their moral vigor. (Y)our imperialist ancestors believed that people living in equatorial countries were happy go lucky, kind of lazy and dumb, occasionally and inexplicably violent and nothing like the more energetic races of the North. Progress was impossible in the hot countries!
When we say something is STRONGLY Correlated, in statists terms that means there is a correlation coefficient. This is a number, expressed as 3 digits, from 0.001 to 0.999.
As a chemist, to calibrate and instrument my CC must be 0.995 or higher. In the social sciences (of which this article is from) they use anything above 0.200.
Notice the data is no where in the article. Nor is sample size, controls, is this self reported, how did they extrapolate, what means did they use, etc.
Always look at the data....
Everyone in Texas knows that driving during a heat wave gets more risky as the heat wave goes on. Every day of living with high temperatures, despite AC, moves a few more folk further over the line of madness. Those of us who have experienced the rage of drivers in hot weather know that a smile and a nod and a friendly wave to other drivers acting aggressively is the best societal defense against hot weather.
" ... associated with ... linked to ... "

"Researchers have reported a 0.7 percent increase in suicides linked to rising temperatures."
Suicide causes are obviously multivariant, but the other, probably more significant but unidentified variables are not listed. Wonder why! My guesses are: (1) other factors wouldn't advance the AGW narrative, (2) the reporter who wrote this is innumerate and lazy, thus unable to identify the other contributing factors or consider their contribution to the equation, or (3) just mailing this BS article in to get an assignment editor off his back.
Look at the CDC graph that Gilbar posted and tell decide which of the three is most likely. I'm going with (2)
This explains why the highest suicide rates are found in countries with very cold climates. On the other hand, I am increasingly confident that the climate change crowd is fast approaching their Waterloo.
It's very discouraging that almost everything printed by the NYT and WaPo these days is untrue or misleading.

Reading the New York Times can singe the mind, too.
I was arguing with my students about climate hysteria yesterday. They couldn't come up with a single example of an alarmist prediction that has come true, but they continue to believe anyway.
Sounds like "Fondly Fahrenheit":
"Fondly Fahrenheit" is a science fiction short story by American writer Alfred Bester, first published in the August 1954 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.[1]
Synopsis
A rich playboy, James Vandaleur, and his expensive "multiple aptitude android" have become two aspects of a single insane murderous personality. Vandaleur's father is dead, having lost the family fortune, and Vandaleur only has the android which, if it works correctly, can bring in more than enough income to support him in the manner to which he had become accustomed. However, the android becomes erratic when his immediate environment exceeds a certain temperature- when the android is put to work in a foundry, it begins to sing and subsequently pours molten metal on the human supervisor when she investigates the singing. When the android is destroyed during a high-speed chase, Vandeleur is shown as continuing his murder spree after purchasing a cheaper model of android.
"...are strongly associated with an increase in suicides, researchers have found. Heat has been linked to a rise in violent crime and aggression, emergency room visits and hospitalizations for mental disorders, and deaths-"
Note to The Times: we've seen a massive increase in suicides in our younger people for about a decade now. Coinciding with the rise in use of social media, the rise in the trans cult (also driven by social media), the rise in muddy thinking taught in the schools. And, interestingly, it also happens in winter. I know, Climate Change: is there anything it cannot do?
Intense heat does make people crazier. But it has always been thus. This is not a new thing. Hot summers bring crazy actions by people. One reason I used to like winters in Detroit is that fewer people were out looking for trouble in the winter.
I want to see the raw data and the analysis methods explicitly called out.
"scientists have estimated..." and "Researches have reported..." means almost nothing anymore. From Vox 3 years ago.
Easier to mug a victim in a park than a would-be victim staying at home.
Plus your average BLM mostly peaceful protester is weighed down by two or three jackets and a blanket once the weather dips below 70. Not the best time to be grabbing new Air Jordans in the name of historical injustices.
Perhaps the mass increase of rapes in Sweden in the past two decades can be attributed to global warming.
In French, "singe" means "monkey."
Racists!
Which reminds me, when are monkeys going to be renamed?
That's gotta be on Joe Biden's list of accomplishments for the 2024 campaign.
Build a couple of dozen nuclear power plants and fortify the electrical grid so that electricity is cheap and reliable. When everyone has air conditioning, they stay in and watch Netflix.
0.7% increase in suicide plus or minus how much? 1% 5% That is a suspiciously precise number for something that is so hard to measure.
Is it measured or is it modeled?
And how much rise in temperature causes this? Most of the US experiences at least 10 degrees C temperature rise over the course of the day and 30 or more over the course of the year. If their data is correct, then the population of the US should be about 17 total with everyone else dead by suicide.
Not for nothing but I read this this morning: Per the retraction Watch website, whcih follows such things, there have been over 5,500 retractions of PEER REVIEWED!!!(tm) articles in scientific journals just in 2022. Up from 40 in 2000.
I think we have to modify the old joke:
What is the difference between a fairy tale, a sea story and scientific research?
One starts "Once upon a time" the second "Now this ain't no shit" and the third "A new peer reviewed study says..."
All time champion for retracted peer reviewed papers in reputable journals has to be Jon Schon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%B6n_scandal

As Gilbar notes, suicides tend to increase during the winter, not summer. Numbers are too high either season, but the lack of sun light tends to increase depression while a mixture of the holidays may exacerbate the problem. Unless we are starting to count heat stroke as suicide, which linking to the Nature publication seems to suggest the author of the article is doing this while the authors of the Nature study are not; then I'm curious about the NYT misinformation on the subject.
At the same time, the regulation of body temperature is vital to survival, and the body will prioritize protecting the brain over everything else. When the body cannot regulate the temperature, yeah brain damage (and other physical damage) will occur. I'm not sure that is superficial, because while below the surface and maybe not externally obvious, the damage can be very severe and obvious. The Nature article tends to focus on this concept.
I'm not sure why this is called "global climate change", unless we are now lumping seasonal weather to climate change, which I suppose is caused by global event of the Earth rotating on a tilted axis as it travels around the sun. And I wonder what the Paris Climate Agreement is doing about events like the Hunga-Tunga eruption that occurred in January 2022, which probably had the greatest impact on the climate events we are seeing in 2023.
OMG! Turn off your stove, dishwasher, water heater, etc. Buy an EV.
Alternatively, talk to someone from a desert state where these things have been common knowledge for years.
A change in temperature from 57 degrees to 58 degrees is not even detectable by humans. And that's what we're talking about. That's what has happened to the avg. global temperature. It isn't going to singe the brain. It isn't going to spike deaths.
For every 1 degree Celsius (or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) increase in temperature, scientists have estimated that there is a nearly 5 percent increase in the risk of death among patients with psychosis, dementia or substance use.
So is there a 100 percent increase every spring in some places when the temperatures go from the 40's to the 60's? Of course not. Should we turn off the central heating in mental hospitals to save lives? Give me a break.
Homeless people, most of whom are people with psychosis, dementia or substance abuse issues, flock to warmer climes. Why? Because cold weather kills people. Not warm weather.
Following up on TimVT:
WaPo: Cold kills 17.7 million people, heat kills 2.2 million.
https://tinyurl.com/5er8wxwx Published 6 months ago. Many comments about how it's the wrong people who are dying from heat, so global boiling is still a problem.
Ask your friends: Would you rather live at 90 degrees without air conditioning, or 95 degrees with air conditioning?
CO2 is plant food. Do they hate plants?
"For every 1 degree Celsius (or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) increase in temperature, scientists have estimated that there is a nearly 5 percent increase in the risk of death among patients with psychosis, dementia or substance use."
I see no mention of a baseline temperature. For every 1 deg increase from what, zero? This statement makes no sense. This isn't science, this is just fear mongering BS.
Researchers have reported a 0.7 percent increase in suicides linked to rising temperatures,
As the temperatures increase, so too does the reporting that we're all doomed and it's hopeless. I suppose it's a waste of time to teach journalists anything about causation.
This is not what you'd call a new idea.
I have lived on this planet for 57 years now. For 34 of those years, I have lived in the US southeast at north latitude 37 degrees and lower, ranging from Pikeville, KY TN to Atlanta, GA. The hottest Summer I ever experienced in those 34 years was in Pikeville, KY in 1988. In those 35 years, the coldest Winter I ever experienced was 1977-78, also in Pikeville, KY.
In those other 23 years, I spent 7 of them in Chicago, and I spent the other 16 in western Connecticut. Of those, the hottest Summer was the Summer of 1999 in CT, and the coldest Winter was 2003-2004 also in CT.
This Summer, we have been well below normal for highs and lows here in Oak, Ridge. Indeed, it looks like the entire eastern half of the US has had a well below normal temps for this time of the year, which probably explains the increasingly deranged rhetoric from the media- reality not conforming to expectations tends to make people go nuts.

Heat waves and hot air
by Judith Curry
"Heat waves are the new polar bears, stoking alarm about climate change. Climate scientists addressing this in the media are using misleading and/or inadequate approaches. How should we approach assessing whether and how much manmade global warming has contributed to recent record breaking temperatures? Read on for some outside-the-box thinking on this."

High temperatures are strongly associated with an increase in suicides, researchers have found.
Which researchers? Who is funding their research. Who vetted and peer-reviewed their research?
For every 1 degree Celsius (or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) increase in temperature, scientists have estimated that there is a nearly 5 percent increase in the risk of death among patients with psychosis, dementia or substance use.
Which scientists? Who is funding their efforts? What is the basis for their estimates? What numbers did they use? Who vetted those numbers?
We didn’t used to have to ask such questions, but Francis Collins, Rochelle Walensky, Anthony Fauci, and Deborah Birx sure changed that, not to mention the failed predictions of Michael Mann and other climate alarmists.
And tim in vermont is quite right. As a species we evolved on the savannahs of Africa. Insofar as anything is settled in science, that’s absolutely settled. We can get heat stroke, we can get dehydrated, but in terms of deadliness hypothermia beats anything the temperatures of Phoenix can throw at us.
So... maybe a correlation. But, that's not really causation, right? What silliness.
Has anyone bothered to look at suicide statistics for India and Pakistan, where pre-monsoon temperatures each year routinely go up into the mid-90's and higher, along with terrible humidity to boot? Do suicides increase by any measurable statistical amount?
AND, doesn't anyone understand that an increase of one degree Celsius represents a 0.036% change? Is such a tiny change even perceptible to human beings?
Don't let the warmistisas fool you by saying it's a 1 percent change, because the Celsius scale starts at MINUS 273 degrees, so a one degree increase is 274/273 , not 101/100, which represents a one-degree change on the 0-to 100 Centigrade scale.
Finally, it is instructive to look at these graphs, which show (a) distorted scales hyping deviations from yearly temperature averages, vs. (b) the actually insignificant difference in Celsius temperatures measured in the US from 1880 to 2022

Judith Curry: How Climate “Science” Got Hijacked by Alarmists
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVi01vJ4nxM&t=28s&ab_channel=JohnStossel
Twenty-five years ago, a neighbor of mine who suffered from severe depression his whole life, hung himself in the bedroom closet during a July heat-wave in Philadelphia. With no reference to global warming at all, my friends who were both psychiatric nurses remarked that suicides increase during hot weather.
I don't know anything about this claim; I only know that my neighbor's death had a horrendous effect on his young children's lives and that his house didn't have central air conditioning.
"When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15, it sent a tsunami racing around the world and set off a sonic boom that circled the globe twice. The underwater eruption in the South Pacific Ocean also blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – enough to fill more than 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. The sheer amount of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect Earth’s global average temperature.
The eruption not only injected ash into the stratosphere but also large amounts of water vapor, breaking all records for direct injection of water vapor, by a volcano or otherwise, in the satellite era. …The excess water vapor injected by the Tonga volcano … could remain in the stratosphere for several years. This extra water vapor could influence atmospheric chemistry, boosting certain chemical reactions that could temporarily worsen depletion of the ozone layer. It could also influence surface temperatures … since water vapor traps heat.
“We’ve never seen anything like it,” said Luis Millán, an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
Over the next year it would turn out that NASA badly underestimated the amount of water Hunga Tonga vaporized into the atmosphere. Current estimates are three times higher than the original: scientists now think it was closer to 150,000 metric tons, or 40 trillion gallons, of super-heated water instantly injected into the atmosphere. Talk about a greenhouse. Water vapor — humidity — is a much more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
With a year’s hindsight, the 2023 researchers also concluded that Hunga Tonga was one of the most remarkable climate events in modern history, and its effects are expected to last for years:
[D]ue to extreme altitude reach of the eruption, volcanic plume circumnavigated the Earth in only one week and dispersed nearly pole-to-pole in three months. The observations provide evidence for an unprecedented increase in the global stratospheric water mass by 13% as compared to climatological levels. As there are no efficient sinks of water vapour in the stratosphere, this perturbation is expected to persist several years. The eruption has also led to a 5-fold increase in the stratospheric aerosol load, the highest in the last three decades yet factor of 6 smaller than the previous major eruption of Mt Pinatubo in 1991.
The unique nature and magnitude of the global stratospheric perturbation by the Hung eruption ranks it among the most remarkable climatic events in the modern observation era.
But I bet you never heard anything about Hunga Tonga, did you? Thanks, media. Better late than never, though. And if I’m doing my job right, you’re starting to think, hey, maybe the hot summer weather this year might have something to do with this historic volcanic eruption last year?"

"Researchers have reported a 0.7 percent increase in suicides linked to rising temperatures, and about a 4 percent to 6 percent increase in interpersonal violence, including homicides...."
And a 30% increase in Climate Change articles.
It's 72 and sunny in the Sahara Desert today.
Freezing kills, and it kills with authority. In virtually every region of the world, birthrates are lower in cold areas. Many plant and animal species do not survive freezing cold, and this explains why southeast Asia is home to the "spice islands." The cold Europeans paid $$$$$$ to import pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, and more.
Also, ice cream consumption is correlated with crime rates. It follows from more people being outside and socially active during warm weather. This has been used for a very long time to illustrate that correlation is not causation in statistical analyses, and to avoid simple (stupid) explanations.
It would be interesting to see a comparison of these types of statistics for areas where air conditioning is ubiquitous and areas where it is not.
I look at cassandra's statement, "people are out and about instead of shut in" and I see just the opposite where I live in the deep, hot, humid South. Get out and about in the Summer heat more than other seasons? No. Not here.
And yes, we are having a hotter than usual mid-Summer. A lot of upper 90 degree days lately. But this follows several milder than usual Summers where we rarely saw 97 and higher temps.
The older I get the more I watch the weather. Not sure why.
But my AC is fairly new and it rocks.

so let's fund free airconditioners.
Voila: Problem solved.
More global warming propaganda. Funny how they are worried about the poors running their air conditioners though. No a/c for us, only for private jets.
Well I don't know if it's due to that Tonga volcano, but it sure has been wet here in Vermont. Including that bizarre rain event we had recently. My garden is kind of limping, only the peas have done well. I have been pushing the "hours of full sun" to the low side, but dryer summers, I can grow tomatoes.
If you use the Year Without a Summer as a guide, it takes about a year for stuff that goes into the stratosphere in the Southern Hemisphere to get into the northern one. The eruption of Mount Tambura in Indonesia caused the worst climate disaster in the history of Vermont a year after it happened. Ten percent of the population abandoned the state after it. It wasn't heat, it was cold. I am pretty sure a lot of people died with food scarce and bitter cold. It only stands to reason.
The questions one needs to ask the climate alarmists: "What should the average global temperature be? And how do we arrive at that?"
My bet is that no one has a good answer.
"When it's boiling and singeing and broiling and searing and scorching in Arizona..."
I lived in Phoenix for a number of years. I don't know (or know of) anybody who committed suicide because of the heat. And that's with two houses (well, one house and one duplex) on my street that didn't have A/C, so I'm sure there have to be others around town who don't either. Not that I recommend it, you understand...
<a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX9B5tnj-xI"> Ingteresting interview of Vivek Ramaswamy by Jordan Peterson .</a>
They agree that climate change/global warming hysteria is a cult religion.
I don't know why nobody has suggested that heat waves (or "climate change" in general, when you get right down to it) be made illegal. I'm sure that'd take care of things in no time at all- you know, like "common sense" gun control laws will eliminate gun violence. Right?
So, they looked at areas where is cold vs hot? Does this explain the middle-east?
The insurance industry is the canary in the coal mine because actuarial tables don't lie. I think that a lot of people when they hear about climate change, it’s just some existential threat. And it’s sort of hard to wrap your head around. If you are an employer and you understand that extreme heat caused by climate change is actually costing you worker hours or increasing the amount of workers’ comp that you have to pay, or if you are a worker and you understand that it’s lowering your payroll, or that you just can’t do your job as well, in so many ways, I think this makes it very tangible and specific.
Anything you can put a price tag on, I think people understand more clearly. One study shows that right now in the United States as a direct result of heat, the US is losing about 2.5 billion hours of work per year. That translates, a study found, into about $100 billion of economic loss per year and projects that would go up to about $500 billion a year by the middle of the century.
https://www.economicsobservatory.com/how-does-climate-change-affect-workers-productivity
When workers are working in 90 degree heat, their productivity drops 25%. And when they are exposed to heat of over 100 degrees, their productivity drops 70%. I think that we’re going to have to continue to adapt our behaviors and our lifestyles going forward as we deal with hotter and hotter temperatures.
From NYT, "High temperatures are strongly associated with an increase in suicides, researchers have found."
From one study picked at random, "Weekly suicide totals demonstrate a sufficient association with temperature anomalies to allow some prediction of weeks with or without increased suicide frequency. While this finding alone is unlikely to have immediate clinical implications, these results are an important step toward clarifying the biopsychosocial mechanisms of suicidal behavior through a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between temperature and suicide."
Association of Weekly Suicide Rates with Temperature Anomalies in Two Different Climate Types

The climate is cooling. That’s why this winter will be many snow storms from the polar vortex jet streams dipping down.
That’s the truth. The southerly dipping jet streams are holding back the weather’s to east flows for 7-10 days during summer making hotter than usual days until they blow on Eastward. But watch the extreme rains and snows from the polar vortex meeting humid air effect as fall and winter comes.
The energy banning Globalists are a deadly enemy. The truth is they want any excuse to depopulate earth.
"Everyone in Texas knows that driving during a heat wave gets more risky..."
As risky as a Monday morning after a Cowboys loss.
AND, doesn't anyone understand that an increase of one degree Celsius represents a 0.036% change?
I understand that you're off by an order of magnitude (10x too small).
Don't let the warmistisas fool you by saying it's a 1 percent change, because the Celsius scale starts at MINUS 273 degrees, so a one degree increase is 274/273 , not 101/100, which represents a one-degree change on the 0-to 100 Centigrade scale.
You even get the method right, but then don't bother to look at your results! 274/273 = 1.003663… which is a little over 1/3 of a percent, or 0.3663…%, not a tenth of that.
