To require all FCC licensed weather channels to include "Celcius" for all temperatures along with "Farenheit"

Created by C.G. on January 19, 2013

We are one of the only industrialized nations the does not use the metric system as our standard system. Weather channels should include Celcius along with Farenheit like in the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act which requires packaging to include Metric units as well as Customary Units. It is fair and also helps promotes Metrication in our country and also helps our education. This will also help us get more use to Celcius and make it easier for us to convert to Celcius and help our country in education and sciences. A good example would be having the Farenheit temperature on the outside and the Celcius equivalent on the inside in brackets. We should not only use Celcius for sciences only but increase it in our everyday life.
