I saw Tom Brokaw's documentary on global warming,
which had a lot of useful information in it.
I expected it would be all US customary, and it
was. One US scientist used the phrase "30 meters", but then converted it to
feet.
The one anomaly I noticed was the bit about the
Canadian team studying the decline in polar bears near Hudson Bay. They had
tranquilized a mother bear and her cubs and were taking measurement. Despite the
narrator's voice over, I was able to hear one of the Canadian scientists call
out the weight of one of the cubs as "80 pounds". Seems quite surprising that a
Canadian scientist (let alone any scientists) would be taking primary
measurements in Imperial.
Weird....
