Times letters : Ridley wrote on the inefficacy of both 'good itentions' and windfarms.
So today 2 letters support him
- one from Lord Crisp
- another from Lord Bernhard Donoughue

Yes that seems right : BT will have been looking for ENERGY savings since 1992, and will have calculated their energy use.
Later they came up with an equation that produced "CO2 emitted"
So they've backdated that to calculate what CO2 they probably emitted
So today energy saving or reducing emissions amounts to them saying that Exchange, wiring and connection are really being 60% rented to TalkTalk, Sky, Virgin
... So that 60% of emissaries belong to them.
So we BT have reduced emissions by 60%.

It looks like BT's corporate communications team are indulging in some across the board "holier than thou-ing" and torturing history in the process.
Is there any possibility that they are trying to retrospectively re-brand energy saving targets driven by cost savings into virtue-signalling 'emissions targets'?
It's what PR people do.....
Heaven forbid they might replace a few thousand km of ancient water + green / verdigris slime filled rural copper cables so that their customers can actually have non-intermittent faster speeds than 1990s dial-up.

A possible explanation?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorofluorocarbon
"By 1987, in response to a dramatic seasonal depletion of the ozone layer over Antarctica, diplomats in Montreal forged a treaty, the Montreal Protocol, which called for drastic reductions in the production of CFCs. On 2 March 1989, 12 European Community nations agreed to ban the production of all CFCs by the end of the century. In 1990, diplomats met in London and voted to significantly strengthen the Montreal Protocol by calling for a complete elimination of CFCs by the year 2000. By the year 2010, CFCs should have been completely eliminated from developing countries as well."

Odd that BT claim setting an emissions target in 1992 but that it wasn't 'science-based' until 2008. An obvious question, then, is what the target was based on 1992-2007? The science hasn't actually advanced since 1992, in so far as the IPCC's unchanging estimates of 'climate sensitivity' reveal.
I can understand BT, or any other company, having had an energy consumption reduction target for all this time, indeed would be surprised if they didn't given the costs involved. Is there any possibility that they are trying to retrospectively re-brand energy saving targets driven by cost savings into virtue-signalling 'emissions targets'?

BBC cannot cover news on migrant crime : cos that's racist
So what about someone having a dream organic farm ?
... ah well there's space for that on radio4, Countryfile and last nights Inside Out South west
