The importance of using common reference scales has been recognised for centuries. For example, in England, King John introduced consistent measures throughout the land in 1215. Other countries also had their own measurements scales standards. Many city museums show the standard measures used for trade within the city or local state. As trade widened so did the need for comparability of measurement results and the use of common units widened. The many different measurements scales were harmonised with the introduction of the metric system and the SI units under the Convention of the Metre signed in 1875. An excellent summary of the historical development of units of measurement is given in the NBS Special Publication 420 [1], Under the Convention of the Metre a hierarchical chain of national and international measurement standards has been developed for the measurement of most of physical quantities.

A draft of this chapter benefited from comments by Patrick Crill, Jennifer King, John Kessler, Stan Tyler, David Valentine, Steve Whalen, and an anonymous reviewer. Don Blake, Tom Graedel, M. A. K. Khalil, and F. S. Rowland provided perspective on obervations documenting the atmospheric methane increase. This work was supported by the National Science Foundation. I thank all of the above for their help.
