It is obvious that the entire world should go metric, it is a superior system to archaic and arbitrary measurement systems. Eventually of course, the world will also adopt a uniform currency, motivated purely by cost savings. We see this already beginning in the world with the creation of the Euro, and the coalescing of regional economic units, such as NAFTA and ASEAN, that will someday adopt their own uniform currencies.  And the world is also on the same calendar, mostly, motivated by synchronization of business work. But unlike the metric system, the Gregorian Calendar is a hodge podge of historical and whimsical adjustments. Days of the week don't correlate with months, or years, and I still need to look up how many days there are in a given month now and then. You need to be an autistic savant to tell what day of the week a given month and year falls on. That's nonsense. The year can be divided in a lot simpler way than the anachronistic monstrosity that is the bastardized Roman Calendar.

The letter "Global Space Junk" (BDN, May 19-20) strains credulity. Showing that temperature records from some specific locations fail to display consistent warming is meaningless. Climate change effects are not evenly spread over the planet.
