The metric system is standard worldwide and in science and medicine in the US. It is much more user friendly than the old system. It is high time the science profession started talking to the American public in metric.
I am assuming you are referring to the use of 100MPH ... I agree with you that we should do more to adopt it in everyday use. However, as it relates to this little article I know what 100 mph feels like since I collect 60's muscle cars and routinely clean the carbon off of the plugs and cylinders if you know what I mean. I can really relate to it in the convertibles, so when they reference 100 MPH jet of CO2 I can imagine what that would be like. I can't do that for the metric equivalent until I have done a complete conversion back to MPH.
