A week ago I was in a doctor's waiting room and picked up a recent copy of NG. It had a special about Global Warming, and I can honestly say it was like being transported back to the 1950s - temps in 'F, heights in feet, etc. etc. When a British scientist was quoted, they had to add '(Celsius)' when he mentioned a change of a few degrees. Unbelievable. Even 30 years ago when I was an undergraduate, the British New Scientist was completely SI, as was the Geographical magazine.
