I caught that later on, but it doesn't actually change my figure, as it was
calculating fraction of the atmosphere's volume converted, not fraction of a
specific component of the atmosphere.  It calculated for one 78km3 volume out of
around 660,000,000 78km3 volumes.  I wasn't calculating for how much the
percentage of C14 in the atmosphere would change, just how much of the
atmosphere would be effected in that hypothetical situation.
