I'm pretty sure Jerome actually believes the earth is flat.
Which has nothing to do with the topic.
The reason there is no metric system for time, is simple enough. Unlike distance and weight, everybody was already using the same measurement for time. A day divided by 24, then divided by 60, then divided by 60.
But now the second is divided by a metric system, which means we do indeed have metric time, but only in dividing a second. It doesn't scale up the other way, because that would be stupid and useless. Sort of like a Kilometer. For large distances, parsecs and light years are used
Not anything metric
And a light year is defined by time, which also isn't metric.
Also, has nothing to do with Climategate
