The Celsius temperature scale is an interval scale [0] which means that it is possible to calculate differences but not ratios. The Kelvin temperature scale is a ratio scale [0] (it has an "absolute zero") that allows to do that.
Beside that if there are uncertainties involved, one should do proper propagation of uncertainty anyways. [1]
